Today's Cryptogram is the from The Arkansas Gazette
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.

IF YOU'RE OFFERED A SEAT ON A ROCKET SHIP, YOU DON'T ASK WHAT SEAT. YOU JUST GET ON.---SHERYL SANDBERG
Ok, put your coffee down, peruse the puzzle for 30 seconds, then set your timer. I’m giving you 3 minutes to solve it, but if you get it under 4:00 that’s still good. If you can solve under 2:30 that’s excellent. Under 2:00 is outstanding.
I studied and put my coffee down, but today’s puzzle was difficult for me. It took me about 3 min 50 sec.
Under 4 minutes is an admirable showing, IMHO! Good job.
hmmmm, Interesting author...needs NO introduction...
Well, I don’t use a timer, but I can tell that took about 7-8 minutes. It shouldn’t have, but for some reason I was certain that the single-letter word was one, when it was the other.
Still a good job. I think it was probably harder than I thought.
Tomorrow’s will be easier....
25 minutes. I’m stupid!
about 2.5 minutes. make it 3.
