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.
Short and sweet. Should be easy.
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):
Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing. It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift. Harry Burchell Mathews.

Instantly recognized this one. It’s my favorite and I sing the song about it often. 😀
OK. Maybe you should occasionally throw the newbies a gimme; but frankly, this was no challenge to anyone with a Bible at hand.
Sort of a make up for yesterday’s.
Clint Eastwood could tell you the difficulties of translation.
Have a great day!
Those numbers are confusing.
The numbers made it obvious.
Yeah, yesterday was a bear. Even after you decrypted it, it didn’nt make any sense.
