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.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
You’re gloating....
Try doing that backwards and in high heels...
She did what he did, only backwards in heels.
I suspect I am like a lot of others on here. I do the puzzle but don’t post because either I don’t have a clever clue or my time is way slower than I care to admit.
Lets show nikos1211 some appreciation and post our times regardless of how long it took.
That being said this one took a little over 40 seconds.
I should probably start by getting his handle correct
sorry nikos1121
Thank you. Several people send me wonderful words thru my email that I wish they would share with the group.
For example, they will comment on the quotation of the day.
I tend to be in a vacuum here. I have no idea if twenty to two hundred people are following the page.
We have about 100 on the ping list.
So, I really welcome people commenting.
And regarding slow? Just solving the CG starts out the day on the right foot....
Are you picking up on any of these clues?
Good idea.
BTW, sounds like the person who made this quote might have been conservative. Someone needs to be guarding that star on Hollywood Blvd lest damage should befall it.
Not that’s my kind of cryptogram!! Easy!!
It wasn’t that easy, it’s just that you’re getting good at solving these!
One of my favorite screen stars
2 min.
Dinked around on 2-letter words.
Then said, “Forget it” and did the usual on the first word.
It fell into my hand as soon as I did that.
Man, I deserved this.
Look forward to it every day
Pleased to just solve it
I use the Hal’s just for the grid to keep things neat
