Today’s Cryptogram

FVV RIEKYP BFD SQUUHNR LIJK BEKXP FUJ NUQKJ RQ JGEV. ---QGEX

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.

Wow. I got that in under 2 minutes, but I don’t know how. I stumbled through by-guess-and-by-gosh, lucked out on the first word, then got the author, and just... a word here, a word there, and there I was.

Bout 4 min, but on the phone in the car while my wife drove.
Many typos to be undone.

Not bad, three minutes. Lately, these are prone to be easy.

I could only think of one four-letter author.
Got lucky.
