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.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
Single letter word lead to word six, then muddled to complete the puzzle
Once again, thank you so very much for putting up these puzzles!!
About 1 min. Started with single letter, made an educated guess at CUZZ. The rest fell into place.
Thank you for posting these each day. It gets my brain going, along with 1st cup of coffee, in the morning.
Nikos posts most days, I just add yesterday’s solution and the ping list.
Do you want to be on the ping list?
I am on ping list.
Yup, you most certainly are. I keep it on notepad, and did a search down, but not up.

There are only so many wise men with four letter names, and this one we had earlier this week...the rest was easy.
