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.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

You know, I’m starting to think this guy was a little brighter than the average Joe.
LISTEN TO ME !
PERFECT!
I once read a story of Silent Cal.
I am going from memory so I might not have it exactly right.
At a White House dinner, a woman guest heard from one of the other attendees about Silent Cal. They said she wouldn’t be able to get him to talk—they made a bet with her that she wouldn’t be able to get him to day more than three words.
When she was introduced to the President, she said “Mr. President, I know you have a reputation for being quiet, but I have made a wager with one of your other guests that I
Would be able to get more than three words out of you.”
Silent Cal looked at her and replied, “You lose.”
Thanks.
