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.
Today’s Cryptogram is from the Arkansas Gazette.
PUT ON YOUR CALENDAR!!!

Thank’s to everyone who brought me along from noob to halfway competent cryptogram solver
Your among the best.
Today’s Cryptogram takes a little time to get started, then it takes off.
Are you going to do the contest on the 6th?
Yes, it took me a little longer than it should. But eventually words began to appear.
‘Struggled’ from the gitgo but the theme quickly fell in place.
Right Back atcha nikos and a Happy & Prosperous New Year to all, hopefully this ‘ship’ gets righted before the waves devour us!!!!
A good one today! Happy New Year

Will have to take a pass on morning of the 6th

Same to you! I’m already pretty happy, though. An unauthorized head start.
