Today’s Cryptogram
From today’s Arkansas Gazette
PJUUCMX KG LMHAKLI WOH Z BAZLBU HM WU WUHHUJ. —ZDWUJH BZXOG
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.

TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: brain; cryptogram; puzzle; todayscryptogram
If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
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.

Flailed and failed around with this one for a while, but really enjoyed reading the solution once I found it.

SBTP! Made the correct choices of the first two letters I guessed at, got the author, zoom...

This is the first one of these I’ve tried.
I was encouraged to give it a shot upon noticing two
2 letter words next to each other. (Limited possibilities
as to what those two words might be.)
The tool our host posted made it easy to spot an apparent
reduction in nonsense, once I got those two words right.
I may have to come back for more... ;-)

Got it in about a minute.

I did my first one a few days ago, and am now hooked. The online tool is great.

I suppose so.
The others I’ve seen go by, I didn’t know where I would begin.

‘Bout a minute. Double letter in last word plus most common letter is a better place to start.

Interesting. Many paths to success and many different skills that can yield results.
You saw the possibility limiting pattern in the last word.
Nice.

I have to disagree with the quote author this morning. The subject of the quote is a whole lot more than what he attributes to it.
