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’m filling in for our Cryptogram again today for FroggyTheGremlim as he is in the hospital. I thought you all might want to know . The good news is that he is being moved to skilled nursing care for physical therapy and will soon be back.
BTW, I’ll not mention today’s author is a piece of $hit traitor…oh I said that out loud, didn’t I?
I was wondering about Froggy. Thanks for letting us know. Please tell him I am praying for his speedy and complete recovery.
That is wonderful news. We should all pray for his recovery.
Is this the easiest crypto ever? Started at the first word and each subsequent word was obvious.
Thanks.
