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.

Solution to our last puzzle:
IT IS AN EXTRA DIVIDEND WHEN YOU LIKE THE GIRL YOU’VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. —CLARK GABLE.
Today’s author’s name begins and ends with the same letter.
The author’s name.
Cracks the case wide open doesn’t it?
this one is more difficult than yesterday’s....
Welcome aboard. These are not easy....
BGAABD was a big hint.
It’s all Greek to me: Shakespeare
Knew the author instantly, so.... boom!
Not for me, never did get yesterday. Got this one right away wit a lucky stab at the author.
Well, it's just all those darn $10 words that got me. I had no idea about the author - it didn't even come to mind or make sense til I had it finished. (then *voila*!)
You will never know how much you don’t know
Somehow I stumbled on the last 2 of the 3 letter words and the rest was easy.
