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.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Solution to our last puzzle:
THE JEST LOSES ITS POINT WHEN HE WHO MAKES IT IS THE FIRST TO LAUGH. —JOHANN FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER
First word by intuition, verb followed, Bing, bang, boom.
The consecutive two letter words are what they look like.
Guess he isn’t referring to ‘frown lines’.
Also, this is a pre botox work.
The pix gave it away after looking at the sixth word; don’t know whether to be sad or unspeakably happy!
Got it.
6 min, get the two-letter words.
That is how I got started, too.
When I had part of 2nd word and 6th word, I started looking for raisin. Didn’t find it, knew my solution of 2nd word was wrong. After getting back on track, about 3 min.
3 minutes. 3rd word got me started.
