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.

IT’S REALLY TOO BAD THAT SO MUCH CRUMBY STUFF IS A LOT OF FUN SOMETIMES. – J. D. SALINGER
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
So true…… by the time I was 40, my Mom (Bless her sweet heart) was my best friend and still is.
Bishop Sheen said that the best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother. One of comforts of growing old is watching the bond that has grown between my wife and daughter. When I see how they interact, it gives me more happiness that a thousand Hallmark cards ever could.
Nice Father’s Day quote:
“That thou art my son I have partly thy mother’s word, partly my own opinion, but chiefly a villainous trick of thine eye and a foolish-hanging of thy nether lip that doth warrant me.” - Falstaff, Henry IV, Part I.
Good one!
Happy Fathers Day
