You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.
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.

I have no idea how I figured this one out today. It sort of appeared. Jump into it. Then look down and you’ll see the first name.

1:11.18 I made a lucky guess at words two and three. I misguessed word one as
PROMISES which turned out to be lucky.
To: gundog
Yes, the second word is key. It is not the usual three letter word, but the other one. After that it all falls into place.
To: nikos1121
Tough one. Figured out the two words after the comma.
