KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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 todays 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 Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Hard telling when he may have said this, BUT it certainly is ‘true’ in todays society.
Think of boys on girls athletic teams....
or cross dressers....etc etc etc....

Easy to get most of it, but getting the last words took me a while…

Oh, that did go pretty quickly. I recognized the pattern of the first name and the rest just filled in bit by bit.

There were these two young Americans, Andy Worhol and Ziggy Stardust, who were looking for fame in 1984. They were under pressure working in Suffragette City. With help from a china girl, they found fame. Now they are in their golden years...soooo

This post was total silliness and yet is completely relevant. :)
