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.

I admit, that yesterday’s CG stumped me.
About 1 and 1/2 min. After the first word, it got out of the way to let me get to the finish.
Easy, less than a minute. First word, and keep on truckin’...
First word did it.
Hint for today’s CG:
Think of Trump
2 min. Didn’t have any real issues, the 11st word is what you’d expect.
“Make Cryptograms Great Again.”
I’ll pass on this one...
A snap compared to yesterday's.
Gross
I got it, in my local newspaper. However it took me all day looking at it from time to time. “All” was the key for me.
Once you get a word, it unravels quickly. There are a couple of good places to guess to get started.
Quick & Easy! To make up for the ones that were so difficult I gave up on them! LOL Thank you for posting these!
Road construction ahead!

Took about 4-5 minutes today. I got off to a good start but a word kept throwing off track.
