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.
Another fairly easy CG this morning.
For an added challenge, print her out, and try solving it without the help of Hal.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
I accidently place this solution on yesterday’s cryptoquote first. Sorry for the screw up. It happens.
I never make mistakes...
Before I start the CG I look for common suffixes, eg today it was ODK in two words.
Also, when the author is made up of three names it’s usually going be this guy.
Another CG, where you can stop after 30-45 seconds and read it out before completing the puzzle.
Most common letter, 5th word starts it off.
Then guess at the 1st word.
3 min.
This guy has the same pattern, 5-5-7, as his frequent host and townsman KOEUM TOEAJ ZVZKWJR but the ZVZxxxx in the last name distinguishes them.
