Today's Cryptogram

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Hiya kids! Hiya, Hiya!

Good Morning Crypto-FReepers.

I see some of the same old faces out there.

But that's OK - I like you anyway.

Today's quote is a bit naughty.

I can't wait to see the clues you come up with.

Hope it makes you laugh.

Ha Ha Ha!

I'll be good - I will, (like heck) I will.

Ha ha ha.

Hello, Ready for a mental workout? A Cryptogram is a classic quotation puzzle frequently featured in daily publications. I source the best and most challenging ones to help keep our minds sharp and boost cognitive health!

How the Cryptogram Works

In a Cryptogram, a single letter always stands for another letter.

(Example: AXYDLBAAXR might translate to LONGFELLOW. This is just an example and does not apply to today's puzzle.)

If this is your first time, don't be intimidated-the game is very addictive, and you will quickly master the technique! If you find yourself stumped, simply take a break and return to it later.

Instructions & Community Etiquette

Please follow these guidelines for the best experience for everyone:

• Solving: I suggest **printing the puzzle** and working on it with pen and paper. You can also copy and paste the text into the helper link below if you prefer a digital tool. (I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter in the Helper for a better challenge).
• Share Time, Not Answers: **DO NOT** post the solution in the general comments. Please **DO** post your **solving time** and a brief note on how you made out.
• Solutions & Hints: Send your solution to me via **private reply** only. If you need a hint for today's puzzle, feel free to **ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!**

Here is a strategy clue …… second word is a recognizable word pattern. That gives you what the contraction has to be, then the rest is easy to fill in.
