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.
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. Puzzle solvers love to hear if you found the CG challenging or easy.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under two "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence or even one word at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
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 contraction gave me the one letter that led me to the sixth, 12th, and 14th words. Then the cascade started. Once you get the author, you have all of the letters to finish it off.
WOW! After the last two ‘stranded’ me, this one was finished before the sand in my hourglass figured out which direction I wanted it to go, Matey!!!!
Wow, for some reason I blazed through that one in about 45 seconds. The first word was obvious, and then certain commonly used words suggested themselves, and zoom!
I hate you both...
and you!
coffee. go get coffee
3-4 min but in the car so slower, including the car jiglung so finger hitting the wrong letter several times.
Thx! 4 min
Doing Cryptograms, talking on your phone and putting mascara on is illegal while you’re driving in Georgia.
I like. We need some kind of logo or artwork or something for our daily cryptogram...
I guess this means that we’re friends again?
Hmmm, someone skilled in the art could change the text to ‘Every adventure starts with a cryptogram’ and replace the coffee cup with a notepad and pencil...
Solved it in three minutes forty-seven seconds.
