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.
A quote from an author I am sure you all know.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
pretty quick actually. His sardonic approach to things suits my mood this morning.
I have a copy.
This is about the redefining of popular words .
I hit post before I said it all…..
This is about the redefining of popular words which is all the rage today as it seemed to be back in the 1800’s.
F’n A!
Yep, this is a good “picture” of what the author was redefining.
My iPhone updated to 15 and now Hal’s helper doesn’t work right - apple’s fault.
A whiff of it sure quiets down the streets, as Napoleon observed.
Needed today more than ever.
Thank you for posting this.
It happened to me the other day with my IPad upgrade.
I had asked in the forum if they noticed a format change.
It is frustrating to try to solve the puzzle now.
Let’s hope not.

About a minute. Most common letter, 5th word, 4th word, 11th word & 14th word (each two-letter words), 6th word, easy peasy.
I like my picture better; the quote, you know.
Huh?
