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.

You out-did yourself on this one, Nik.
It took me most of the night to solve it.
Very hard. Had to break down and use a computer solver.
The first word...totally slipped my mind, and I never heard of the author.
Stumped.
Conjunction, and then the small words....
I wouldn’t mind tossing a few pots with her...
5 minutes this time. Didn’t recognize the author.
Thanks, wouldn’t have solved this one without that clue...
Finally. The hint worked after trying multiple ideas.
2 minutes. Got the conjunction after the comma first.
