Today’s Cryptogram
We have a short one today. May be quick and easy for some, but tricky for others new to the game.
Has anyone noticed that Magnum44’s clues are almost more difficult to decipher than the daily CG? I for one love them!!!

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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
You don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. ---Jimi Hendrix
So true.
That’s why you should walk a mile in their shoes...
In my head, a little over a minute. The first two words are almost always the same in a declarative sentence. You now have three letters to work from, and a single letter is almost always one of two possibilities.
I think you skipped something. < 2 min.
And one is eliminated by the first 2 words.
I’m not touching this one with a 10’ pole!
Why not?
There aren’t too many one name, five letter authors.
It was a piece of cake.
Minute and a half, a personal best. Placed 2 vowels, had the author and boom!
Trump
clever
Elvis :)
Well, darn, got that one with Hal’s helper (cheating”) in just a few minutes.
That remark would make a good fable!!!
This is a test: I used to be eCSMaster. Now I’m FroggyTheGremlin.
Let’s see if it worked.
It worked. Thanks JimRob.
