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.
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
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.
A fun Father’s Day Quote for Today!
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Too bad DNA tests didn’t exist back then.
I like the little clue you left just below the words “Today’s Cryptogram.”
Clever pick of quote for today’s holiday. I guess he is talking about “Prince Hal” ?
Frankly, I find all that frilly old-timey talk hard to understand.
Agreed. It’s almost like something out of Shakespeare. ;)
Lol! Didn’t Diana’s butler have red hair?
The speaker is Falstaff. Prince Hal has been summoned by his father. Flagstaff is “imagining” how the little talk will go.
It reads like Biden’s last speech 🤣🤣

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. ― Henry David Thoreau
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
I had the first four words instantly, but I thought the 5th was religious and screwed myself up for a bit.
That one was tough.
KLOJLV YTE sounds obscene.
