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.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

Common letter, some playing around, then I got the fifth word which opened up the rest.
Challenging CG from the Arkansas Gazette.
3 min.
Most common letter + word after the comma, 5th word after the comma, 4th word after the comma, it opens up.
I groaned when I figured out the last name...
Somehow , I got this right away, the double letter in the second word. And then a good guess on the first two letters of the repeated five letter word.
Definitely a challenge today! But I got it!
Hmmmm
Take advantage of the situation while the iron is hot!
Tough one. But under 4 minutes. Common letter, second word, 5th word and off to the races.
