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, youÔÇÖll be solving them all within a few days. If youÔÇÖre 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 todayÔÇÖs 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 HalÔÇÖs 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 donÔÇÖt put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

A fairy who lived in Khartoum,
Took a lesbian up to his room.
And they argued all night
Over who had the right,
To do WHAT and with WHICH and to WHOM.
I remember seeing that on a bumper sticker many years ago and just about going off the road laughing.
It’s a shame she was murdered for telling the truth.
They insist your safe word has an upper case letter, a lower case letter, and at least one number.
OK, you win the thread!
Oh my goodness! I solved it, but I dare not touch this one with a ten foot pole. So I’ll just second magnum’s clue and let it lie there. 😵💫
You don’t need a 10-foot pole, just a rope!!!
Ha ha ha!
That should have given me the clue but it was the last thing I finished
I’d forgotten about that one
I thought my reply in 7 was better.🤣
Somewhere there was a meme about “I don’t think choosing *harder* for my safe word was a very good idea”
