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 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.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
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.

5 minutes on the dot! Schadenfreude!

Less than 1 minute. :)
i was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, yet it comes from within. it is there all the time. -—anna freud
I think it took me ten minutes. There were no obvious hints that I saw right away, so I had to work at it. FUN!
3 and 1/2 min. Solved first 1 letter word, then started at bottom with IMM and worked my way up.
That’s a no-no!
Would you like to be on our ping list?
DO NOT POST THE SOLUTION ON THE CURRENT THREAD!!!!
pretty please?
Lucky I only look at the first post until I come back with the cryptogram solved. About 4 minutes today. The single and the first name, then some hunting. Good strong saying.
