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.

That one fell together in just a few minutes. Sometimes I stay stuck, this time it all flowed once a few things clicked.

Under two minutes. I got the second word, and then the second letter of the third word, and the rest filled in easily.

I got a huge puzzle book of cryptograms in my Christmas stocking this year - but it isn’t the same without Hal’s Cryptogram Helper...the old fashioned way with pencil and eraser stinks.
