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.
Clear as a bell.
Just under 3 min. I worked with a guy like that, and it was a big part of his job.
At first stab I was wrong as to the first part of last name but it quickly righted it/myself.
His message is sort of like ...If you have to explain the punch line of a joke, it sorta ain’t a joke or a lot is taken away from it.
As to the first part of the last name
What do Ivan Terrible, Catherine Great, Vlad Impaler, Casper Ghost, John Baptist and some others have in common?
Middle name is THE!!!!
Easy one, but pointless in delivery.
