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.
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.

Okay, I started with the first word that had an apostrophe and it went really quick after that. I didn’t time it, but it seemed about 3-4 minutes.

Personal record. 3 minutes.

Started with obvious letter of 10th word; which tipped off 1st word; then off to the races. 2 min.
