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.
Clever little word puzzle today, that would be even better if you print it off and do it on paper!

Cute wise quote.

You’re getting too good at these Rain Drop...
That was a nice one. Get the first name and boom. Like lightning. =)

Yes, waiting for Magnum to show a kite running down to a glass jar with a key in it.... 3...2...1...
I share you’re humility.
Got KYY right off the bat, but then stumbled around for a while. Re-caged by focusing on the RN in front of KYY. DOH!!! Plug and play after that. I needed an ego check ☺
Not easy, but fun!
