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.

Without coffee. I’m so proud!
XROXed my way in, and then the name fell into place. Good quote!
Good point.
I’ve had dogs do that!
Good one! 8/10
This puzzle came quickly, as fast as I could write the correct letters down. I write the puzzle out on paper, then write the correct letters underneath, so I don’t know how to time it. Oftentimes, I don’t even look for more than phrases and short words to guide me, so I have no clue what the saying is until I’m done. Is that normal?
Thanks for posting that - my first time doing one. At least I finally got it done.
i am proud of you
Can I ad you to our ping list. Youll be in fun company.
