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.
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.

Nothing remarkable, pretty straightforward.
Forgot to check the clock. Either 1 or 3 min. Probably 3 due to all the clicking on the letters in the link.
4 min.
3:20. The first word broke it for me.

3 ish minutes, in the dark, no coffee.
Didn’t recognize the author.
True enough BUT we must remember who the ‘General Contractor’ was........
4:45. Once I figured out the first word it was over in seconds.
That’s a classic! LOL! The first two words got me started and after that it only took a minute or two. I don’t time myself anymore, I just putter through it at my own pace.
Yeah. Second puzzle in a row to go down to the ABA sequence.
Looking back, it’s the last three, and four of the last six.
Good point
This one is hard. Gonna go do dishes and come back and look at this one later after I am fully awake! Got stung on foot 4 am by scorpion UGH
