Today’s Cryptogram

BDKGDS OWG WBM DSNSA LBCS B LUMEBPS WBM DSNSA EAUSC BDKEWUDJ DSO. –BDGDKLGZM

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.

KEYWORDS: brain; cryptogram; puzzle; todayscryptogram
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.

Today’s puzzle is from the Arkansas Gazette. Once you get the “E” some of you might figure out the author on the first try. Then it’s a toboggan run down The Matterhorn.

About 2 min. Got the 1 letter word, then the one word author and it was like scoring the TD in a 2 min. drill.

"Easy if you can guess the prolific author…"
