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.

Solution to our last puzzle:
DUTY MAKES US DO THINGS WELL, BUT LOVE MAKES US DO THEM BEAUTIFULLY. —PHILLIPS BROOKS
Less than 3 minutes, but had to look up author’s last name to get the last letter.
Sorry, this mornings clue/reflection is just the first thing that came to mind as I read the quote...
5:00. It took a bit, but as I caught the rhythm it rang true.
Bah, I give up, I can’t get this one.
I think this one has me beat as well.
One freaking hour!
I started guessing words in spots and finally I got something to stick and then I got it. Well, except for the author’s last name.
