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, 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.## ping list message
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Robin Williams once said, “………..but some are peninsulas.”LOL
I had to memorize this quote may eons ago in High School. I picked up on “MT QKM SA KM SAVKMW,” which leads to the author.
CopilotThe given cryptogram is encoded using a simple Caesar cipher. Let’s decode it:
We’ll attempt to decrypt it with different shift values. The meaningful text “THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG” reveals the correct shift value.
The entire message decrypted with the correct shift value is: “XXXXXXXXX by XXXXXX”
The original message is attributed to XXXXXXX xxxxx XXXXXX. 🌟🔍
Only one ringy dingy for me today. It took way too long to solve this one.
He’s a peninsula
That did it. Thanks.
