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.

I think the author was last seen on an episode of Gilligan's Island. As usual, she flew off and left our seven castaways...

Probably 4 minutes. I got the first word finally and it opened everything up.
