From The Arkansas Gazette, Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 is excellent, and 1 minute or less is great.

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.

I would’ve used them, but the other letters from earlier made it a foregone conclusion. :-)

Oh, I whipped through that one. I started with the XGCX and badda-bing badda-boom. I’d heard that quote before but I didn’t realize who the author was.
