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.

60 sec. Took a guess at word one and it revealed 5th word. Fifth word has same first and last letter, minus ‘. The rest was point and click. I look forward to these puzzles every day. Thank you nikos1121 for posting.

He could sure fire bullets.
Story was late in a game batter went up to the plate and struck a match.
The umpire said ‘That isn’t going to help you see that fast ball’
“I know that, I just want him to see me”
Never heard of the feller... ;-)
that's rare.
I enjoy it too. Wish we had our own category or be on top bar. Anyone have some clout with Jim?
