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.

There is no participation ribbon for this puzzle!
A good pearl of wisdom in this one.
Took me a couple of minutes to get word six. Word three is also key. The first word was obvious.
Thanks to all who make this daily puzzle possible. I apparently am no longer capable of starting my day until I solve the daily puzzle.
SURE, we give a ribbon to anyone showing up...
That was cute....
Haven’t heard of peep from you in a long time.
I may not say anything, but I do the puzzles almost daily. And then catch up on any missed. Thanks for posting these.
So who gets the pearl?
Our Internet has been off all morning, and just came back on finally a few minutes ago. I was really missing getting to do a puzzle, can you tell how addicted I am to this? :)
