Today’s Cryptogram from The Arkansas Gazette. This is one of those CGs where you can’t type the answer fast enough. 2 minutes or less today is the goal. Look it over before you start.

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.

Okay..

I think I will just ‘invent’ a Crypto type game or radar or sonar or something ‘we’ don’t already have.

That is Headly you fool!!!

Was that supposed to be a reference to frequency-hopping spread spectrum?

[cartan]

Nice and simple.

[grey_whiskers]

You were right, 1 min, as fast as I could click. I saw what it was long before that though.

[grey_whiskers]

Top Kek. You said “Hopping” and “Spread”.
You must like rabbits.

Any author can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.

Today’s author was granted a patent for a torpedo controlled by a frequency hopping spread-spectrum signal in 1944.

That’s Hedley!!

I know. And, "It's Hedley."

EZ. Word eight was yesterday’s word thirteen. Learn it :)

Can’t give away everything.
One of those ‘if you know, you know’ moments.
