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.
Sorry, Folks. Better late than never!!!
Sorry for not getting this out. Thank you for your undying support.
A day without the Daily Cryptogram, is like a day without sunshine!
My day was great, how was yours?
I never heard of the author before. He’s mostly right.
How was your day?
I’m so glad you asked...lol...let me tell you all about it!!!
Not good. I had to play the crypto app on my Fire tablet to get my fix.

A good thing the cryptogram helper populated his last name or I would still be striking out.
When you’re retired, it’s the other way around.
I had to do a search on the name to see if I got it right. All the other letters fell into place, especially VMDVGM.
