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.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.

Author was apparent.
Common letter and short words were key again.
I should be ashamed to be seen here.
What a relief the author does not mention women.
Note - this is not an AARP endorsement.
That’s depressing.
Maybe we should hang out?
WHoa!!! hold ‘yer horses!
There’s a mistake in this quote. Author should have said “during” otherwise the people mentioned are deceased.
I’ve been out of town for a week and really missed the daily cryptogram. Thank you for doing these for us - they are a highlight of my morning!!
Winning in the golden years!!!
