Today’s Cryptogram
Posted on 02/19/2020 6:17:07 AM PST by nikos1121
Today’s CG is from The Arkansas Gazette and a doozsy. Any score under 8 minutes is good. Under 4 minutes excellent. Under 3 you get Cuban Cigar.

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're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
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.

Clues today are more entertaining that the CG
To: null and void
1st word, only 2 letters it can be.
Then the last letter of the 2nd word.
Then the 4th word, the double letter + the letter at the end.
Take that as a start.

Not the best start, but under 5 in the end.

I grew up before email. I remember getting scented letters from pretty girls.
I would miss a lot being young today.
