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.

Today’s Cryptogram is from The Arkansas Gazette.
All I can say is, “Hold your nose.”
Yeah - fairly easy puzzle but I did gag a little when I saw who the author was.
1.5 min to 2 min.
Most common letter, 1-letter word, first word of 2nd sentence, last word, off to the races.
This is notoriously easy.
Is that how we respect the author's dying wish?
No need to try this one. Your clue alone was all I needed. Or could stand.
Sorry, I’m all for being respectful even when the other is not. She replaced a white male conservative Judge. Got 93 votes. GOP screwed us again.
Now the left screams that Trump is unfair.
I want to see. Biden humiliated tonight in the most respectful way. Trump should just let the man talk.
Nuther hint: It's a insipidly platitudinous. Who would have guessed?
I don’t have the stomach to watch those spectacles. I’m busy, I have to arrange my socks drawer.
OK - now I actually want to solve it. Seeing as how it’s got platitude. And all :)
Quick one.
She was so sure Hillary would win - her quest to remain in power backfired.
LOL... your clue made it too easy to guess the author! =)
Pretty fast when the last word just became clear. less that 2 min for a change. never cared what the author had to say before, still do not.
Fast and easy. Following my mother’s advice I will not say more.
You’re too kind. I wanna see Biden have a Nadler or Ron Paul moment.
Your comment and the structure of the name gave it away.
Sometimes like to imagine that too bad the nasty/over the top PRO Abortion types didn’t have parents that held the same beliefs.
