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 MARVELOUS MONDAY
Word five is what I want.

There was an incident about today’s author when he was at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, (which is separate from the University). Two local preteen girls were playing outside his home, and struck up a conversation with him. He invited them in, and offered them lunch. He then proceeded to open a can of beans, and heat it, still in the can, on a Sterno stove in his kitchen. He then spooned out his meal and shared it with his guests.
I’d be willing, but the last time I tried, my hair got very thin and I couldn’t get up a flight of stairs without nearly passing out.
I got it!
“Please drink your Ovaltine!”
A crummy commercial?
Wow I got it, cool! I wont say what it is, but liberals will like what it says.
Yeah
I used to think the author was smart.
Thanks.
