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.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly; keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time. You remain forever young. Roger Angell (September 19, 1920 – May 20, 2022)

No. According to the Gospel, the love of it, according to George B. Shaw, the lack of it.
Technically you are correct. I was lumping all the evils caused by “KXQSJ” together….. worshipping it, loving it, the trail it all too often leads to evil unethical and illegal deeds, fiscal inflation. But you are correct, it is not “KXQSJ” itself that is evil, but it often causes (or is the root of) evil. 🙂
source of all evil
I was gonna post
but thought better of it.
When there’s too much money there is never enough of it.
