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
It’s fun watching my Dad do these. He looks at one for a few minutes then just writes the answer. But he’s been doing these for many decades. Ans yeah his IQ is off the charts. 😀
BTW I solved it. Won’t post because don’t want to spoil the fun for others. 😀
And not Ans^* (Big hands small iPhone. Sigh.)
“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.”
OK. There aren’t a lot of two and three letter words. Start there. The solution follows fairly easily from there.
It sounds like you had fun solving today’s Cryptogram. Would you like me to add you to the ping list?
Once I noticed the number, it became “fill in the blanks”.
Yes please. But think I’m already on it.

I don’t see you on the list, so I added it just now.
Thanks.
