Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 12/28/2019 5:59:23 AM PST by nikos1121

From the Arkansas Gazette, a fairly easy CG. Look it over before you start then start your stopwatch app. Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 is excellent, and 1 minute or less gets your choice of stuffed animal.

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.

About 5 minutes, but I am not very awake! Good one! Words 6. 12. and 13 got me hung up a bit. Slowed me down.
