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.

Always invite your foe to spend the night in YOUR tent.
That way when he has to take a whizz he will raise the tent and ‘go’ outside.
If you don’t let him stay and force him to put up his own tent in the desert, he is liable to come over and whizz INSIDE your tent.
Not that bad, about three minutes. Look for most common letter, then follow the yellow sick toad...
