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.

Yes, it’s BONUS time once again. That laughable time when you get to solve a humorous quote from a classic funny movie, comedian, or entertainer. The trick is, unlike nikos puzzle where you don’t want to post spoilers, with the BONUS puzzle it’s a race for first solution posted, BUT you don’t post the solution directly, You post a funny pic ,gif, or meme that shows you solved it. First pic or gif wins the prize with full bragging rights. Honorable mentions for all original pic or gif posts.
I’ve got stacks of honorable mention awards laying about, so just because someone solves the quote first doesn’t mean you cant contribute to the fun.
Don’t get wrapped up in how easy or hard it is. Just solve it and post something funny and share the fun.
Today’s puzzle should be fun and easy. No knowledge of foreign language like last weeks required. Be creative with your replies 😝
Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

2 min. Most words were easy to fill. Sixth word slowed me up.
The first word is what you think it is. When you get the second word (which should not be hard) the rest just follows.
Bonus is not particularly hard, but I did not recognize either the character or the quote. I had to google it.
I found the quote more snottily condescending than funny. I’m sorry, that’s just how I took it.
I don’t find deprecating honest work humorous.
You’re kind of missing the point of the whole thing...
Yeah, a winner!!!
You’re the winner this morning until your gif gets zotted. LOL
Whee! :-D
I said I was sorry. Tell me why that quote is funny then.
I was to windward, so it took me about 6-1/2 minuntes

It’s just a game. Just for fun. Playing is voluntary. My wish is that you and everyone else have a great day.
