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.
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:
I HAVE A WONDERFUL MAKE-UP CREW. THEY’RE THE SAME PEOPLE RESTORING THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. —BOB HOPE
5:53.48
A couple of blind alleys, but once I guessed the first word it fell apart.
6 min, keep plugging and chugging at the small words.
(I got nuttin’ !)
A series of wild guesses had to do it this time.
1:36. I think that’s a weird way of thinking about them, buy hey, to each their own.
About 3 min. Solve the UVVF and the rest become apparent.
I need my senility to help withstand all the fake news.

Makes sense for the most part....find the ‘E’s and it is smooth sailing
iQV, and off we go....
1 minute. WOW!
IQV and IQVH opened it.
That took me so long, I think you may be right: my brain cells are currently at 77.
You’re doing great
