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, youll be solving them all within a few days. If youre 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 todays 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 Hals 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 dont put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
10 minutes or less is good
5 minutes or less is excellent
3 minutes is exceptional
2 minutes is superior and puts you in a league of your own.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

Thanks for posting these, nikos - I look forward to them every day !
No obvious clues, so I noticed the double letter in the first name. Guessed at that; which made the 2nd letter of that word obvious; that led to the 3rd word, then the 3rd word after the comma, then it opened up.
About 3 minutes. Time for curls.
Whoot Whoot, 5 minutes.
Common letter, second to last word, word three....
I’ve been in the habit of just plugging “the” into every three letter word and seeing what works. Having a little more success lately.
Took me longer than usual.
5 minutes. Fast once I got started.
