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

Very appropriate quotation.
New Disney Superman movie is out, and to no surprise it’s as woke as could be possible.
His motto is now:
TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE HUMAN WAY
Think about how stupid that sounds.
The director is telling us to “screw off” for being critical of it.
They’ve got 425 million in the thing.
I hope it bombs.
You are right, it will bomb. They can’t mess with an iconic American hero tradition without a lot of flak.
Also they are trying to say Superman was an “illegal alien”. No! He was an infant orphan adopted by U.S. citizens who obviously applied for and obtained legal citizenship for him by the time he grew up. He didn’t require welfare, he didn’t commit any crimes , didn’t carry around a flag of Krypton, and assimilated quite nicely.
He was still a draft dodger. He could have won World War II single handedly.
These puzzles are much easier to solve when they make perfect sense.
The quotes from great poets are more difficult because they often just overrated nonsense - the verbal equivalent of one of Picasso’s h idiots portraits.
P.S. don’t get me wrong; I would LOVE to own a Picasso - so I could sell it to some fool and spend my millions on things worth having.
Thanks.
