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.

Huh????
She may have sung it, and sung it well, though Keith Whitley did a fine job, too. But, she wasn’t the author of the words.
Oh, ok. I get it. Clever.
Quick announcement:
Froggythegremlin is fixin to join the Cryptogram Maker family, and will be doing the forum on Fridays.
Currently, Apple Pan Dowdy: does Monday and Tuesday and Lonesome in Massachussets; does Saturday and Sunday, (and occasionally steps in when he sees that I’ve overslept.)
I will do, Wednesday and Thursday.
The “Today’s Cryptogram” has run on this sight almost non stop for around 7 years or more.
If anyone has some clout with the Administration, it would be great to get “Today’s Cryptogram” on the top bar along with “The Daily Word” and other things.
