Today’s Cryptogram
OZAOUZ IGZ UAWZUT FZMINRZ XEZT FNSUV CIUUR SWRXZIV AK FGSVHZR. –DARZOE K. WZCXAW
Today's Cryptogram is 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.
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:
YOU HAVE TO EXPECT THINGS OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN DO THEM. —MICHAEL JORDAN
And a big hearty Cryptogram Family Welcome to:

I again apologize for the typo. I have a routine on pasting these into the post, and when I drift from that, I find myself leaving a letter off the beginning or the end of the puzzle. Fortunately many of you recognized Michael Jordan as the author and ignored the extra letter to his name. Goes to show how confident you all are getting with these.
About 2 and 1/2 min. 1st word has common pattern. Quote doesn’t apply at border.
Common double letter first....
About four minutes, doing it in my head. Only struggle was with the first name of the person to whom the quote was attributed.
In terms of one’s personal life, it makes might be good advice.
Yeah, it’s one of those quotes that sounds good to some people, but not to me. LOL!
Every time we get a new neighbor my husband says to me, about them.... Be a good neighbor, stay over there! LOL
Also says “I hope they don’t have (big loud barking) dogs”....
Also neighbors who let their big dogs poop and pee in OUR yard. Oh, he says he picks up the (solid) poop... but what about the pee, and these are HUGE dogs. They were peeing on our shrubs IN OUR FRONT YARD and almost killed them. And if dog has the runs, he can’t pick that up. This neighbor is disgusting!
Our favorite ones moved to Colorado. But some of our less favorites have moved, or are moving soon. NONE of them are as bad as Randy the Nasty
