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’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram

Screw humility. It’s the arrogance of excellence I’m looking for.
That Obama picture is perfect for this quote.
Very interesting article about the author’s trial https://www.historynet.com/the-trouble-with-treason-prosecuting-jefferson-davis/
FTA: “____. (the Defendant’s) reputation seemed to rise the longer he remained in jail. He became a martyr, and his embracing of the role of martyr was something that played into the Lost Cause myth. “
Sound familiar ?
I’m hooked - can you please add me to the Ping List?
That’s an interesting quote.
I am adding you to the list, and will notify the guys who post the cryptograms on alternate days. My apologies that I didn’t see your post until this morning (Wednesday).
No problem - thanks!
