You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

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

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.

HINT to today’s cryptogram:
Today on Labor Day as we honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States, let us remember that it is Capitalism, that system where private entities control the factors of production like labour, instead of a system where labor is under the control of the government that works best.
God willing, I pray we never forget that!

That’s because the wrong crowd has been in charge before. This time, we’ll make it work.

First, please don't put hints in the ping post. Make a separate post with clues and hints.

Second, I started with the one-letter word and then moved to the most common letters. The second most common letter opened up the puzzle for me by revealing the author.

Somehow, I manage to ignore the message in the ping post almost entirely.

Enjoy the Holiday!
