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 todays Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:

“...how John Quincy Adams, who knew that at certain points in the Rotunda sound traveled perfectly, used to lay his head on his desk, feigning sleep so he could eavesdrop on his antagonists...”
That’s a good one! I zipped through because I made the obvious guess on the first word and it pretty much unfolded, but that is a great quote!
1 minute. Before coffee :)
Any puzzle with the sequence of words “this is the”... gives you five easy letters!
