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.

You know, the thing
50 secs. Same here, 1st 2 words, contraction, 9th word and it’s off to races.
Less than 1 minute.
1st word, last word,
contraction, 5th word,
off to the races.
That there is the other end of the spectrum.
I don’t think I can beat your clue this morning. LOL
For me, easiest one yet.
Thanks for posting these. I look forward to them every AM.
About 2:30.
Thank you. That is nice to know. Some days I’m not sure if there are more than just a hand full of regulars. I love posting these, and the comments from nice people like you...
lol good one
Thanks Nikos another good one today
Find the two one-letter words, and that should get the first two-letter word, which gets the 5th word that gets the 6th word, and the rest opens up from there.
