A wonderful little saying from Arkansas Gazette, 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.
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.

Welcome home. Harder than average. Guessed the second and third words, and then saw the source. After that is was easy.
BTW, my initial guess for the third word was wrong, but it “guided” me enough, by dumb luck, to guess the source.
I don’t know if I will solve this one. Taken a guess on words 2,3,4 but nothing else looks obvious.
I got it! Took a guess at words 1 and 6, and voila.
Keep trying. You should be able to guess the middle name of the source, given that it begins with “K”...
I’m getting nowhere with this one. Feel free to send me a clue in PM, if you’re feeling merciful! =)
4 minutes. A wrong guess led me briefly astray.
This one is hard if you can’t guess or some luck. Maybe one should consider where they would go to “shop” for a long fifth word.
LOL... I’m sorry, that hint did absolutely nothing for me. Thanks, though.
here’s a clue for you for word 6.
Where is soleimani not now?
LOL
PM sent on another clue.
Wouldn’t that apply to word 1 as well? LOL
OOOoooooohhhhhhhh okay, I got it. Thanks to both of you, because otherwise, PPPPBBBBBTTTTTTTT.
Your welcome.
Verb and single letter got me started.
I did originally include word 1 but removed it because there’s still itty bitty parts of him available.
That’s a fair point.
