Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s Cryptogram

GA’M Z MALZVDO RULFX UT FZVDEZDO GV RBGQB MIZAGVD UV ABGV GQO QZV DOA JUE GVAU BUA RZAOL. —TLZVIFGV Y. WUVOM

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.

EZ, but I’d have to look up the middle initial.

Common letter isn’t all that common, this time. Start with the contraction instead, and it becomes easy.

The contraction followed by a single letter word gives away the third word, and after that it’s mostly just typing.
