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.## ping list message
This might be tough today.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Author. I’m not sure I agree with him.
Excellent. A meaningful, culturally uplifting cryptoquote worth the time and effort to solve. Bravo. Would
that they were all so worthy.
Tough? When it’s tough, start with the end. N. OBTGG NZGCAKIQXY is instantly recognizable.
Yes, once you guess the common 3-letter word, the name and title pops out. Without the author (or masking the author’s name by only giving initials, or the unfamiliar first name with no middle initial) would have made it difficult.
…with todays quote. 🤣
Thanks.
