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.

Don’t keep us in suspense!
I’m heading to the kitchen to make a PB&J sammich...
Like a good feast, I really enjoyed this one. My time was less than 2 minutes. Keep ‘em coming, nikos 1121
VJSJQ is the giveaway. After that, just typing.
Will be going back to the morning posts again tomorrow, Folks...
Don’t worry about it....just don’t do it again. LOL
Seriously, it’s not a big deal. It was removed before I got to the thread, so I’m fine with it. :D
