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.

Last word of the quote, or author’s name?
Last word of the quote, right before the period.
Wording a bit awkward on this one for obvious (solved) reasons.
Okay, now I see the problem. I had pretty much forgotten the existence of the word “our.” LOL! Brain is cloudy.
Now this one was easy. And it describes me perfectly!
second word (ABCADB) got it going for me.
Got it. Eventually.
Same here. Took me quite a while. Once I fugured out the subject word though, it fell together.
Probably 3 minutes today.
Ah so!
Got late start today...late yesterday also and it stumped me.....
Oh well...To err is human and a ‘bad’ one may get you benched!!
