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.

2 min, get the most popular letter.
Mine looks like the tee-shirt at the bottom of the laundry bag...
Got it! I actually got the author right out of the gate.
I had to start over several times. But playing with the short words eventually did it.
You didn’t use Hal’s Cryptogram helper?
Just a piece of paper and a Sharpie?
Impressive.
I’ve resorted to Hal’s recently. Used a lot of paper previously.
And I see what you did there.
Amen! Scary
Got it, betterb late than never. BTW, I have smile lines. ;-)
tough going at first but about 2 minutes
A good one!
Hmmm.... she must have made her fortune off of slackers. <: <: <:
Never heard of the author, illiterate engineer that I was.
