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 and has a couple words that may stump you.
First word plus author. Not so easy for me.
I solved the whole thing in a flash except for the 2nd and 4th words.
Pelosi on my mind.

Not trivial. But fun!
Took a while to get ‘untracked’ but finally got it???
Don’t think I would have worded it the same way BUT who am I to ‘argue’ with someone that is still quoted nearly 200 years post mortem? <: <: <:
I should be so lucky and probably look down(or up) and shake my head in derision were someone to ‘question’ me long about 2222 or so...
My granddaughter, Molly Golightly, was born on December 31, and it suits her personality.
Started with common letters
focused on slotting in vowels and other common letter.

Same here. I take my time and do not rush as I savior solving these puzzles. Maybe 5 minutes.
