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
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Author.
Well put. The Creator is in all things and the evidence becomes clearer the closer we look.
When we care to look.
I know. I thought youse guys deserved a break after yesterday’s assignment.
They say no two are alike - which is crazy
It’s a good quote and worth remembering.
The FLMF in yesterday’s quote sent me in the wrong direction at first.
... and JYAJNY looks just like PEOPLE or INDIAN
SV SF is sort of a gimme. That gives you VA which gives you the first three letters of FVAJ which gives you JYAJNY and after that it’s just typing.
Thanks.
