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.
Enjoy today’s Cryptogram

I don’t know who wrote this paper but they don’t know the first thing about...../old movie line
And in some shots of her in that movie they use a soft lens. Especially when she’s one-on-one with Thornton Mellon.
Somebody noticed it while we were in the theater back then. (one of my friends)
And another thing….im gonna stop payment on the check!
I get my astronomy papers written by NASA
Gives me more time to do the Triple Lindy
coulda, shoulda, woulda....
I have doubts about the provenance. It seems an older quotation than the attributed author.
A lot of truth in that quote.
Thanks.
