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
Think waters that giggle.

Thanks.
In the movie Educating Rita, the professor, ( Michael Caine) surprises Rita with a poem by William Blake, thinking he’s going to empress her. Turns out she had studied him during Summer school and she knew the poem by heart.
Great little movie if you haven’t seen it.
Very obtuse clue, but these days everyone is posting clues that have the words of the puzzle in them or a picture of a word, like the flag.
I’ll check it out.
