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.

Today's CG continues our theme of quotations that describe the best qualities of our president. He out works all of them, and he tirelessly.

About 3 minutes.

1 min or so.
Contraction, one-letter word, two-letter word, three letter word, off to the races.
Another ABCBD....contraction, single letter word...
Well, hardly ever.
75 seconds...
1:45. Walk in the park.
About 1 and 1/2 min. Like previously mentioned, the contraction and the ABCBD word were key.
That’s a classic!

It appeared it should have been difficult. It was not. < 1 minute. Once the first couple words were in place, the guesses were all correct.
The quote had all the things you like; A contraction, single letter word and a couple familiar words...
About 30 seconds. Very easy.
