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.

Easy word gave away the author.
I see I’m not the only one unable to sleep.
Lots to think about...
Oddly, I’m here to NOT think.

We’ve got an extra day next Saturday to get some excitement in “our town.”
Hmmm...
Different strokes for different folks....
No coffee, no ambition. Needed the clues. 10 minutes!
Good one! And you didn’t use the word... Bravo...
Playing with short words quickly gave up the rest.
Mentally energetic today. Second word guess gave me the last word, and raced on from there.
Had to return to that clue for the final key. Had been stuck and not concentrating. Never saw that show either, just the reference did it for me.
