From the Arkansas Gazette, a fairly easy CG. Look it over before you start then start your stopwatch app. Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 is excellent, and 1 minute or less gets your choice of stuffed animal.

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.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
About 2 min. Solved 3rd and 8th word knocked down outside barriers to finish.

Very EZ. There were no hurdles in my way.
About 5 minutes, but I am not very awake! Good one! Words 6. 12. and 13 got me hung up a bit. Slowed me down.
Meh, probably 8 minutes today.
Pretty quick to solve!
One of your best!
