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.

Less then 2 min. Just kind of saw it, and did what had to be done.

About 3.5 minutes today. I figured out a couple of the smaller words and then it came together fairly quickly.

Seemingly a SNAP this AM...
Key is getting the ‘double letter’ words on the first go round so as not to be confusing ones self... and it helped with correctly getting the first ‘small ones’ quick...<: <: <:
