Today’s Cryptogram

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.

I’ll bet you a ten-spot I can solve this one in a minute or so.

I mistyped a letter two times, but it didn’t get to me.

Sawbuck. About a 7 on a scale of one to ten.

Merry Christmas, Nikos, and thank you so very much for my favorite thread on FR every single day!

Took me 10 minutes, longer than expected. It left me with a burr under my saddle over my own slowness.

Probably about two minutes today. Sometimes the puzzle just clicks with me.

Single letter was a coin toss. One of them made sense for the author’s first name. A cake walk, from there.

Have a Merry Christmas, puzzling people!

Weird how if I go away and come back to the puzzle later, it often just becomes quite clear. Banging away at it has only worked a couple times for me.
