Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 12/29/2019 2:50:05 AM PST by nikos1121

From the Arkansas Gazette, another fairly easy CG. Look it over before you start as you’ll see several obvious words. Then start your stopwatch app. Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 is excellent, and 1 minute or less Is amazing..

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.

Was it not worth doing? Were you intimidated?

Oh ye of little faith.

BUT, apparently, you hung in there and accomplished something.
