Today’s Cryptogram

ALG KHT HKY YL KEHTFP HTV KLTYULD ALGU DXRP, HTV YEP MULKPVGUP, YEP MULKPBB XB XYB LQT UPQHUV. –HJPDXH PHUEHUY

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.
