Today’s Cryptogram

HMY UWGPO G UMJ GZMYJ CWMCUW CUGHEOB BMUV: JFWEP EOJWBPEJH, FMX JFWH CUGH YOKWP CPWTTYPW. ---JPYAC

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.

Word six is one you should recognize on sight.

[nikos1121]

Lot’s of “C” which is a bit unusual.

I didn’t do a histogram, even mentally.

Words that fit the pattern:

AERATE
ASIANS
BALBOA
DEIDRE
ESTERS
INDIAN
LESLIE
NARNIA
PEOPLE
PROPER
THATCH
TRITER

in case you ever want to side track some smartass know-it-all.

"One-word author :)"

At first I thought it was that author but quenched the thought. After solving the CG, I regret not going with my first instinct. I would have finished the CG ahead of time. LOL
