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.

THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Solution to our last puzzle:
BETTER A DISH OF ILLUSION AND A HEARTY APPETITE FOR LIFE THAN A FEAST OF REALITY AND INDIGESTION THEREWITH. ---HENRY A. OVERSTREET
Looks daunting at first but under 2 minutes. One or 2 words and the whole thing unraveled.
Long, but easy. A click fest.
About 3 min.
Done. ABCA got me started.
Yeah, just under 2 min.
Quite long, which made it simple.
The author was a stevedore philosopher.
Yes, I enjoy all his books. I think he would be very surprised at the world today, but what he’s written on the subject of people having a taste for freedom, and then it’s taken away is very true and powerful.
The people in Hong Kong and Taiwan have had a taste of freedom. China hints at taking it away, and now you have a million people saying NO!
Sometimes the best thing for us to do, is to sit back and let the people decide things.
We’ve propped China up so they can give things to their people, but sooner or later there’s a taste of freedom.
And a true believer...
