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 todays Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Leisurely 3 min.
First word after comma confirmed suspected first letter of first word.... things fell into place after that.
Depends on who he is referring to....
Still unsafe at any speed.
Stabbed correctly at the first word and it sorta ‘opened’ up after that....
About 3 min. Solving author’s first name was key for me. Surprised the author said this.

Honestly, it was tough to find an appropriate meme today without totally giving away the answer...
Had to start over, but got it in 8 minutes. Thanks!
Nice quote but the author is still a d*** Head.
Small words made this one easy.
about two minutes.
Started with an obvious first word, guessed the fifth and sixth words, then the CG started getting filled in and before I was aware, it was finished.
Yes, I agree.
About 5 minutes. Forgot to set a timer.
That was a good one...
