Today’s Cryptogram

From today's Arkansas Gazette (sure looks like one we've had before).

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.

After I guessed the first word, got the author then just as fast as I could type it, 2 mins. Old and wise quotation, very true. Good thing after yesterdays very hard (for me) CG!

[John4.11]

Whew, I’m glad I didn’t give up on that one!

After a minute or so, the lights came on.

[cartan]

Many short words. Easy going.

[MustKnowHistory]

Well, I got that one in under a minute with a lucky guess at the beginning.

[angmo]

That was fast.

[null and void]

Pretty quick, exasperating false starts, but recognizing the author’s name persuaded me to try again.

If at first you don’t succeed, try the outfield.

A hole in one!

[Jonah Hex]

Easy one (1.15), once I saw the light.

[AloneInMass]

I skipped the first letter copying and pasting. That really bogged me down.

The word with two double letters unlocked it for me.

The word with two double letters unlocked it for me.
