From The Arkansas Gazette, Anything under 4 minutes is good, under 2 is excellent, and 1 minute or less is great.

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 1 min.
Contraction, 1st word, off to the races.
About 1 and 1/2 min. Ho hum, must be me.
Words 9 and 13 too.
I would’ve used them, but the other letters from earlier made it a foregone conclusion. :-)
Yammering Hank. These are getting too easy.

Nice and simple today.
I can see him saying that. Lots of experience, no doubt...
Yep
Contraction?

Gawd....need more coffee and to find my other readers. Thanks.
Easy one, ja.
Oh, I whipped through that one. I started with the XGCX and badda-bing badda-boom. I’d heard that quote before but I didn’t realize who the author was.
Just guessed the first word and then it’s off to the races...2 minutes flat.
30 seconds today, I like the author, the quote not so much.
