Today's Cryptogram: Hint M=R

SN ST UWJWM NEE ICNW NE GW RBCN HEO XSKBN BCJW GWWU. KWEMKW WISEN

Our last puzzle:

BEING IGNORANT IS NOT SO MUCH A SHAME AS BEING UNWILLING TO LEARN. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example:

AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram)

Please don't post the answer for everyone to see, but you're free to post how long it took you to figure it out, and you can certainly post the answer to my private reply.

If you're starting out and need more clues, let me know.

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.

Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.

If you can solve this under 8 minutes you're good. Under 5 minutes is very good. Under 3 excellent. Under 2 minutes, exceptional.

Less than 5 is pretty good. Sometimes the shorter the puzzle the harder it is.

Today's CG is proving to be a little tricky. Here's a hint. The author is a famous British female author, who wrote under a MAN'S pen name.

If this is your first time, that’s actually a pretty good score. These can be intimidating at first. Once you start seeing repeat forms like “ing” endings or “that” 4 letter words that begin and end the same letter, you’ll get good.
