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).

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.

my dad had a coffee cup that said...
First you crawl

Pretty soon
You learn to talk

Was it Seinfeld that said
There is no difference between your 1st birthday party and your 101st.
A bunch of strangers congratulating you, you are off in the corner with a ‘look but don’t touch’ demeanor, many thoughts running through your head like
Who are these people?
Why am I here?
What is that wetness down there?
OH, now I have a ‘warm and fuzzy feeling’ down there.
Will it ever end?
Oh well, I will just go to sleep.
(JS hit on that subject, I enhanced it?) <: <: <:
I know, I know, stick to my day job....
The third word popped, and I had the first 6 words before plugging into Hal.
Lots of clues to be had....but it was solved without needing a second one.
First six words by inspection. Third word was a giveaway.
Less than a minute total. Would have been faster, but I am too old to click that fast.
Yes, but don’t make it too easy...2 min.
