Today's Cryptogram is NOT from 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.

Short words made it doable but I had to google for the author.

Got the first word on the second try and the letters preemptively placed themselves from there. < 2 minutes mostly from looking up one letter in the author name.

As fast as I could type. Found the "e" and guessed at the second word. The rest flowed from there.
