Today’s Cryptogram

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.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

What’s with you and the “E” seems like that’s been your approach? lol This puzzle, gives you the “L” right out of the gate. “E” is as easy.

I have to admit, even I am stumped to find the connection with that clue. Is someone putting off getting their college degree? LoL.

Regarding your clue, the author was an Eagle Scout, but he was no Saint. :)

As a terrible guitarist, half-way decent bassist and mediocre pianist, that was the clue I needed.

See what I mean....?

Your clues are like watching an Ernie Kovacs skit, and trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
