Today’s CG is courtesy of the Arkansas Gazette.
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.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
POLITICAL HISTORY IS FAR TOO CRIMINAL TO BE A FIT SUBJECT OF STUDY FOR THE YOUNG. —W.H. AUDEN
2 min. Do the contraction then the 3rd word.
That was a good one: just enough clues to make it not-too-difficult.
2 min. Got the 2nd word & 11th word. Guessed at first and contraction.
About 5 minutes. Fun one.
I really enjoyed this one.
Good advice but one must be observant in all directions and be aware of his/her surroundings...

About 5 min, thick headed this am. Set the E in place and then the 3 letter words including the e, and the three letter with the double letter. That was a good start for the trial & error part.
