A quick and easy one today from The Arkansas Gazette. EVERYONE SHOULD SOLVE THIS under four minutes. Under two is excellent. Under 1:30 you get a Cuban cigar.

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.
