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.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Today’s puzzle is from the Arkansas Gazette.
Not too hard, but I’m not familiar with the author.
I, too, am not familiar with the author. It wasn’t too hard once I got the right clue...a snap really.
About 1-2 minutes today. It just started coming together.
Solution to our last puzzle:
YOU CAN ACT TO CHANGE AND CONTROL YOUR LIFE; AND THE PROCEDURE, THE PROCESS IS ITS OWN REWARD. —AMELIA EARHART

Sorry guys, not much too work with humor wise with this quote. Best I could do today. The authors bio doesn't impress me either. He is into ichthyology, so I guess I could have posted a fish?
About 3 min. Was not familiar with author, but should had been based on a couple of his jobs.
Yes, please add me to the list!
About 4 minutes, after a couple of false starts.
1 min. Last word, 2nd word, a couple of other short words, off to the races.
Less than one minute, faster if I could type faster! Fun to have an easy one once in a while!
