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.

First word leads to the second which leads to the third...
Agreed, first contraction. Then common phase for 2nd and 3rd words. About 2 min.
Got it! Only my second success. I’m on the learning curve still.
Thanks for posting these. And for Hal’s Cryptogram Helper. Without which I’d be lost.

Correct ‘stab’ at first word then downhill from there.
Why shouldn’t she strive for both?
The author of Today's Cryptogram.
An anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
During her life, she was lionized as a freethinking "rebel woman" by admirers, and denounced by detractors as an advocate of politically motivated murder and violent revolution. Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, free love, and homosexuality.
Although she distanced herself from first-wave feminism and its efforts toward women's suffrage, she developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into anarchism.
After decades of obscurity, she gained iconic status in the 1970s by a revival of interest in her life, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest.
I think the quotation suits her perfectly.

If you read up on the author it’s pretty clear.
Seeing her ‘background’, I agree..
Perhaps I should have opined
Why wouldn’t ONE strive for both? <: <:
