Today's Cryptogram is the from 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.

Solution to our last puzzle:
WISE MEN NEVER SIT AND WAIL THEIR LOSS; THEY CHEERILY SEEK HOW TO REDRESS THEIR HARMS. —WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Done before the ping?
No coffee maybe 3 minutes. Would have helped a LOT if I’d ever heard of the author...
Ok, I learned a new word this morning. Mononymous. As in mononymous person or author. In this case it might as well have been anonymous. :)
Same clue that got the answer as yesterday.
one minute. Used my go-to word which opened the 13th word.
Interesting quote.
At first glance I thought the author’s name was anon.
IRTRZ is the construct that always starts me out!
About 3 min. Get the “e” and the 13th word. Not familiar with author.
This puzzle has a lot of those “hooks.” The first word out our the gate, then the one you mentioned. good feeling for me, when I start the day with an easy CG...
Two consecutive quotes with the ABCBD sequence. Monotonous comes to mind, as well.

...unless it is a second, or third, or fourth, etc! he he he I have 3 and soon my daughter will have 3! I love being an elderly grandma shark!
