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.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
I’m stuck on the last word...2 or 3 possibilities (one of which is a rare word except in Scrabble, and none of them make much sense.)
Cute. Very quick solution compared to yesterday.
I think the author is wrong about this. We FReepers get a lot of ICLZ from Free Republic and love to do so.

Kitty torture 🤣
Look at the obvious clues....
Funny!!!
2 min.
Contraction, word after the contraction, first two words.
Easy from there.
You win the thread.
Sometimes they click and sometimes they don’t. This one did.
If I could type faster that would have been sub 30 seconds.
You don’t need to write out the CG to claim your time. Just sayin’.
If you can pause from writing and read the CG out loud that counts.
I was sub minute on this one as I could read it completely before writing it out…
Good job!!!!
Are you on our Ping list? 😊
Thanks. No, I’m not.
Do you want to be?
