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.

A la recherché du temps perdu
Pepperidge Farm isn’t the only one that remembers.
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan?
did you take that photo somewhere in my county this weekend....
Sorry for the invasion of your privacy, but I found the scene tender and evocative.
My mistake, I was too cryptic.
I had big plans for needed outside chores.
Then, light rain, off and on all day Saturday and into the night.
I woke up to light rain.
I just checked, rain has stopped, for now!
Yes, the scene is indeed tender and evocative.
Also, a reminder of the constant light rain all around here
I was not serious in my apology. I got the point. I was having fun with it.
Nice one!
Thank you.
So what explains babies crying and watching them grow?
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes
Do you mean a pound sign? #
