You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.

1.5 min. Get the first word then the 1-letter words...
I think you outdid yourself on this one.
Tums. I need Tums.
That wasn’t too hard. I made a lucky guess on the first two words, and managed to stumble through to the end in decent time. Couple of wrong turns, but not too bad.
It took about 5 minutes today.
Love the Matrix reference!
Glad you liked it. Now, did you put your nose on the dot and watch the lady float through the hoop? ;)
