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.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Thank you!
Hah. I agree with this statement!
No problem. Thanks for getting it out. This took about 3 and 1/2 min. One of my favorite authors.
Once you get the ‘T’ in the correct place, it moves right along.....

Thanks for the good work and effort. Surprised you don’t take a day now and then....
It has been said that there is ‘Good reason to not ‘screw’ with the volunteer help’.<: <: <:
Thank you for posting!
I disagree with the quote, my group was pretty decent overall. Now my siblings’, wife’s or kids’ bunch would be pure hell on Earth.
13 minutes. Rather juvenile of me.
Good thing I’m not in charge.
2nd word’s repeated letters finally clued me in.
Okay, that was a funny one!
I’m wondering if the group would prefer the CG at night instead of AM
You should just do it when it’s convenient for you. We’ll solve them when we can! LOL!
"DZLD" (or its cryptic variations) gets me off to the races every time :)
I didn’t study with AO-C, nor did I allow my daughter to matriculate with thespians...
You had 2 ABCA words this time
Mine too but none of them ever amounted to anything.
Let’s see...there was Debbie Schussel but that was college.
Breakfast of Champions.
Agreed!
