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 was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a AOFUG;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the AOFUG.
There was a young maid from Madrass
Who had a magnificent ass.
Not rounded and pink as you’d probably think,
It was gray had long ears and ate grass.
I know, my limerick had nothing to do with the cryptogram....
Cute pup! Ours is now two years old, golden doodle, smart as can be. You have a companion for life.
Seriously?
Now I’m gonna say “huh?”, unless you are implying the author was also a comedian.
McNale’s Navy had a PT boat...
Yes, so why your original “huh?”
My mistake. You asked “seriously?”, not “huh?”
I just wasn’t clear as to the question.
