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.

I hope he got what he deserved.
I’d post a clue but I don’t want to hijack the thread.

This story fascinates me. I wonder what really happened.
While I am reluctant to glorify criminality, I thought this one would provide an interesting morning jolt. And fortunately no one was hurt.
Some of the moola was recovered.
You won’t mind posting a photograph of yourself from the early 1970’s? Would you?
You already did, thanks.
Nice tie!
A modern day mystery.
