The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).

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

EVZK is the stuff of life. - Poor Richard’s Almanac
Got it
Easier than some
I totally understand what you are saying. This quote, when I read it, made lightning bolts go off in my head. How could this man (the author) be so depraved and arrogant that he has no regard what-so-ever for his fellow man, yet believes only he is correct? That is like what Lucifer (Satan) thought when he left Heaven to try to rule with his own plan. He arrogantly thought that he was wiser and more capable than God….. God, the one who merely spoke and the universe, the, earth, everything was created!
So I chose this quote for today’s puzzle to evoke a strong response in everyone of us. Your response did not disappoint.
