The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, youll be solving them all within a few days. If youre 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 todays 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 Hals 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 dont put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

From Auntie Mame:
“It looks like blackberry jam.”
Auntie Mame says, “It’s more like fishberry jam.”
That’s a good one! JZIZL was my way in.
That’s the best you can do? :-)
I love criticism just so long as it’s unqualified praise. :)
haha. You’re the best. You realize that it would NOT be the same without you.
What a cowardly thing to say, ehh?
Never come for a battle of -
being half prepared.

Looked more difficult than it was.
A little over 2 minutes.
