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.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

Solution to our last puzzle:

ALWAYS GET MARRIED IN THE MORNING. THAT WAY IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT, YOU HAVEN’T WASTED THE WHOLE DAY. MICKEY ROONEY

We have some unwritten and unofficial rules here with regard to clues to help decipher the CG, as they’re getting better and better each day, and in many ways more difficult to figure out than the CG, (esp the ones Magnum44 cooks up.)

Rule 1 is not to have any of the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Rule 2 the more tangential the clue the better. E.G. the CG has the word APPLE in it, and you show a picture of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in their pin stripes, (New York=Big Apple).

Rule 3 Make them funny and/or thought provoking.
