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.

The first crypto I have solved left to right, line by line. Guessed at first word based on pattern of letters. Just fill in blanks after that. About 1 min.
Huh. Got it just about as fast as I could type. Can’t offer many hints, got the most popular letter on the first try and the rest of it just flowed. Not a single wrong guess. That never happens.
I agree - I think I’m going to put a copper still in my man-space. For decorative purposes...
That’s the best and most enjoyable way! Good job!!!!!
Nice and straightforward.
About 1 minute. 1st word of second sentence, the one-letter word right after it, the letter E, off to the races.
add me to ping list please
i’LL BE happy to do so.
Took a couple of minutes.
Who? Wow! Deep!
IF true, shouldn’t parents be living in their children’s basement?
Thank you.
