Today’s Cryptogram

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're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

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.

That’s what I say: Enjoy but spread the risk.

Took a minute.
First and sixth word were obvious.

Good point.

Main thing is that whichever your choose you excel at participation....

Whatever you attempt be the best you can be...

Got me yesterday, got far too hung up on the two ‘double letters’ in 1 & 7...

Sounds familiar though, is it a repeat???

[Political Junkie Too]

Three minutes. The seventh word is misspelled. It should be "HIMXWMHKA."

You sure? Look it up!

Now that’s a man with a diversified portfolio of vices. The day he dies will be a shock.

The rules dictate that photo be eyebleached with CZJ:

[Political Junkie Too]

I did.

Remember what they say about one being your pal?

-PJ

[cartan]

I would say that it is misspelled at that link :-)

[Political Junkie Too]

Do you know the saying that your principal is your pal? That's how you tell the difference in usage between "principal" and "principle." The former is a person, the latter is an important thing.

That's how I know the usage in the puzzle by the Gazette is wrong.

-PJ

[cartan]

Principal is also an adjective, as in “Wisdom is the principal thing.” or “principal point” or “principal section.”

[Political Junkie Too]

OK.

OK after running, emptying, putting away dishes in DW, mowing, edging, watering, replanting my Rosemary, doing many loads of laundry, vacuuming, making beds, cleaning 5 toilets, I decided to work the puzzle.
I did, but I don’t understand it!

Thankfully “I don’t work” LOL

[buffyt]

I am a straight woman, and even I think she is gorgeous.

Even though I was always taught to be a babe you have to have blonde hair and blue eyes. But CZJ is prettier than E Warren, or Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nikos1121]

You know something? You’re right. Even the Gazette got it wrong...
