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're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
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.

Like I say, no need to bring yours, I have enough for everyone.
Guessed 1st vowel correctly then it was letter by letter...2nd day in a row... must be getting easier cause I ain’t getting any smarter...HA HA....
Good job. Yes, we have a run of easy ones. Think Ill buy a lottery ticket todây
This guy has never had the ‘pleasure’ of watching the paramedics work on him from somewhere near the ceiling...
“must be getting easier cause I aint getting any smarter”

Darn, I thought I must be getting smarter.
Good way to start the day. Got the single letter, then it was word by word to the end. My mind and body is right for the day. Hope all CGers have a good day and stay safe.
Easy, two minutes.
Four days in a row in my head. They seem harder every day, but maybe that’s because after it’s done it appears easy?
BTW, I think that when used as an adverb OAOEPHRP is two words. As an adjective one word. Merriam-Webster and https://www.grammarly.com/blog/ support me. It was one of the first words I got and it made me question my solution, which would not be as big an issue if I was using electronics or paper.
Youre on a roll!!!!
Grrrr. Grammar Nazi alert. The fifth word should be two words.
1 min or so.
Word with the double Z at the end, 1st word, 2nd word, author...
I will refrain from reporting this fact until I give in and resort to pencil or electronics.
I think that fifth word should be two different words also.
I thought the same thing about OAOEPHRP.
guessed the common last letter and killed it.
Haven’t heard from you for awhile...
