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. If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

I’m getting nowhere on this one.
Took me a lot of back and forth. Without Hal’s tool, nevah happen.

NOTE the author....makes a little more sense...
I had trouble with it until I recognized the author’s first name: OWUZOR. Then it was easy.
same here but appropriate for the “day” we are on
Thanks.
Otherwise I’d still be lost.
