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.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

What is todays CG saying about the state of our public schools?
I think that’s obvious.....
Exactly!
90 sec. 2nd and 3rd words, then 2nd and 3rd from last.
In 1983 a blue ribbon National Commission on Education headed by Nobel Prize winning nuclear scientist Glenn T. Seaborg published a report called “A Nation at Risk” that concluded “If a foreign government had imposed this system of [schooling] on the United States, we would rightfully consider it an act of war.”
The puzzle uses a word that was the subject of Tuesday's puzzle.

What he says is true for every IFNVZY, so he’s not really saying much beyond it being a IFNVZY. The first four words would have sufficed, but that would’ve made for a difficult solve.
