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, youÔÇÖll be solving them all within a few days. If youÔÇÖre 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 todayÔÇÖs 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 HalÔÇÖs 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 donÔÇÖt 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.

Instantly recognized this one. Errol Flynn said it best, to Lou Costello.
Wise guy, eh!
You are correct sir.

Heh
Had to look hard at that clue.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Surprisingly easy. Hard to post a clue without giving away the solution.

Blue, I love your clue!
Once I had it solved I could not think of a clue that would not instantly give away the quote, so I gave up and decided to just say, “solved it - NYUCK NYUCK”. But your clue is wonderfully perfect and delightfully vague. I vote that you win the thread today.
Good clue.
