You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.
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.
Send me a private reply if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
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.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under two "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
It’s easier to work on the puzzle without having to use your pencil.
Solution to our last puzzle:
The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money. James Madison
Five minutes this morning. Great job with these threads. Thanks
Thank you. Wish we had a bigger following or better yet, if Jim can give us a special Topic Line of our own, like word of the day....Any ideas?

I made a good guess at the only-slightly different four letter words, which gave me the identity of the speaker. After that, it was all downhill ...
I did something similar. I took a gamble on the three letter word that was repeated, then on the two slightly differents, and then it all came together in about a minute and a half. I really enjoy this little treat every day, I must say!
Now onto Thursday's and today's!
