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.

If it had been an insurrection we would have brought guns.
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more flood, the fire next time
I wasn’t there. Just ask my cellphone.
You used a burner. I clearly see you in the crowd.
It’s the smell of tear gas on a cold day. I like how it hugs the ground and doesn’t dissipate like it does in the summer. It lingers until everyone has gotten a good buzz.
According to Chris Plante, this is “Ashli Babbit Day.”
Yeah
The last word is a giveaway. Opens the whole thing up.
I knew it would be easy. And topical. I hope your are observing the Feast of the Insurrection.
The Feast of the Insurrection.
Clever.
