Today's CG should be fairly easy for our seasoned solvers on this forum. 5 minutes or under is good, 3 minutes excellent and under 2 is sensational and you get a Cuban cigar.

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.

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.

1 min. The contraction isn’t what you think it is. Yeah, I guessed wrong at first, still only took about as long as to brew a pot of coffee.
IOW, I done did it without coffee on board.

About three minutes, more or less.

Several of you pointed out that the last word in yesterday’s puzzle was mis-spelled. overwhelming NOT overwelming.
