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.
I hope we didn’t lose too many if any followers after yesterday’s puzzle.
I love that movie.
For those of you who still didn’t solve it:

Too good a clue, spoiled it for me.
“These are my principles. It you don’t like those, I have others.”
Great link!!!!!!!!!!!
So not fair!
Even cheated and thought it was unsolvable.
(Now I understand the clues)
🤦♀️
I gave up. I had to “report” to work on my work laptop.
Yesterday’s puzzle was fun. Thanks.
No wonder I couldnt get yesterdays..... WTH
you made it too easy
About five minutes to piece it all together. I started with the one-letter word, which gave me the two-letter word before it. When I tried a common word ending for the word before the two-letter word, the rest began to fall into place.<>-PJ
I didn’t get it either, I had to google search the picture clues to figure out the solution.
