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.

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.

I can’t help but think that Bobby Riggs was trying to emulate a Woody Allen casino royale character on the entrance to his ‘battle of the sexes’ match.
Yep. Suffixes and double letters.
Maybe so, but a little talent in what you are attempting helps.
Sounds like ANVXMQKJKKUY to me.
Less than 2 min maybe, but it did go fast after the two single word letters.
Thanks for the late followup, part of my daily routine now.
Who da dude?
Oh, wait do not reply
