Today’s Cryptogram

From the Arkanasas Gazette

YU ABI WII WYAIK FLT LMQI, YA’K ABI WII’K UOTSA. YU ABI WII WYAIK FLT AHYQI, YA’K FLTE UOTSA. —KLTEQI LWKQTEI

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.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.

Guess no one wanted to step up to take credit for a pretty foolish saying.

This one I did without scrolling down for clues, and only a sip or two of coffee.

Does anyone have any idea how many people are doing the CG? I’d like to know. Some days, I’m thinking only a few.
