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.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY

Yep. Those first four words you can read as is! Great quote though.

Same author: The 50-50-90 rule: anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.
I remember how he, in the wake of 9/11 said he wouldn’t mind getting a chip in his hand to prove he wasn’t a terrorist so that he could go to the Dodger games.
Now don’t anyone go blurting out his name LOL 🤣😆

Great hair, a face like old shoes, a merry spirit.
*sigh* Probably a lib, alas.
I hope my sister can bring any homework!!
HJQZ XVVJYZ was one of the Greatest Generation. A lot of them, like my father, were devoted to FDR and thought the New Deal actually helped average Americans. He was an Army war correspondent during World War II, writing for Yank Magazine. He was on a bomber during the Schweinfurt Raid, a truly terrifying disaster, and on the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge, the most sanguinary battle in U.S Army history.
Like most of the educated people of his day, he was an old school liberal, but unlike today’s liberals, he, and his cohort, were blessed with gratitude, that most necessary attribute for human happiness.

Nice!
Ha I had to open it in a new tab 😜
