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.

ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING DISORDERLY IS THAT ONE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING EXCITING DISCOVERIES. ---A. A. MILNE

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I know the feeling.

On a scale of 1-10, about a 5. CHS did if for me. Guess that and rest is obvious.

[gundog]

Hit on the next to last word, and it fell together.

[1lawlady]

I believe this one might have been the easiest for me...3 minutes.

[nikos1121]

Actually, not that easy. You’re just getting better at these.

It’s BONUS puzzle time!!😝

Yes, it’s BONUS time once again. That laughable time when you get to solve a humorous quote from a classic funny movie, comedian, or entertainer. The trick is, unlike nikos puzzle where you don’t want to post spoilers, with the BONUS puzzle it’s a race for first solution posted, BUT you don’t post the solution directly, You post a funny pic ,gif, or meme that shows you solved it. First pic or gif wins the prize with full bragging rights. Honorable mentions for all original pic or gif posts.

I’ve got stacks of honorable mention awards laying about, so just because someone solves the quote first doesn’t mean you cant contribute to the fun.

Don’t get wrapped up in how easy or hard it is. Just solve it and post something funny and share the fun.

Today’s puzzle should be, well, you decide. Be creative with your replies 😝

Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

AJQI LFN'WQ HJQABIS FI VBOQ'D SWBDYVQ, PFI'Y SWNKEVQ; SBTQ M AJBDYVQ, ... MIP... MVAMLD VFFZ FI YJQ EWBSJY DBPQ FO VBOQ...-VQMP DBISQW HWNHBOQQ

Regarding today’s puzzle from nikos...

[notdownwidems]

The last word got it for me...3 minutes

[relictele]

Didn’t one or more writers from the Arkansas Gazette valiantly attempt to warn the nation about the corrupt Clintons in 1992?

[gundog]

[null and void]

My phone appears to be bricked this morning.

[grey_whiskers]

4 min. got the two one-letter words backwards at first.

[grey_whiskers]

Ya should’ve left that to Magnum44. 3 min.

[Magnum44]

Somehow I knew you would be the Bonus Winner today. 😝

Congratulations!

[xrmusn]

Since 2-4&14 are ‘obvious’ took a little time finding the right combination etc....

Is that (almost) the same as you will never know what you don’t know?

[A_perfect_lady]

I had a few false starts, but suddenly I figured out the first word and bingo.

[cartan]

Exactly the same for me.

[gundog]
