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.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

First three
Forever Locked is a life-size, museum-quality taxidermy exhibit depicting two moose with their antlers locked. The rare, natural event occurred near Fowlertown, an early settlement in Gile State Forest on Route 4 in Springfield, NH. It portrays two bull moose that permanently locked antlers while dueling, causing their deaths.
Yes, first 3 got me off and running.
First three are a gimme,and the fourth word is a 12 inch putt.
Yep. Start the week with an ez one.
Nice. Getting the fourth one right is most important.
Not bad....though yesterday pretty much ‘stumped’ me, couldn’t get into a rhythm and never got back to it.
Like they say, it all depends on whose ox is being gored!!!
Yes, first three.
Got the first four words.
Them got mired in the eight letter words!
2 min, but around 30-45 sec of that was the 5th word’s last two letters.
The two letter words, the one-letter word, the first four words, off to the races.
