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

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
A familiar quote, worth repeating.
What went wrong with the Cryptogram Helper? It is hard to use.
The letters are much paler than normal.
HAL apparently changed fonts. You can enlarge the page on your browser to get the old effect. I prefer the older version, too. He also added a feature, where you see the partially completed puzzle results, once you begin to enter a solution.
This is an excellent quote, and a challenging puzzle. Very timely and useful. Well done!
If he is adding features...
my one item for the suggestion box is to add a running list of unused letters
This "Helper" is invaluable! I started with pencil and paper and soon happened upon the "Helper".
"Today's Cryptogram" is the first thing I look for when I crank up Freerepublic.
Thanks to HAL!!
I agree, but I am merely a user like you.
Thanks.
