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.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

A rather intimidating CG at first glance, from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, until you happen upon word #18 that gets you in the door, and low and behold it gives you a couple more letters from word #10, and from then it’s ramming speed all the way home.
Why you said.
Yikes. That should read “ what you said”.
So far I’m doing a pretty good job of ignoring the advice...

Contraction...done.

Good guy from the Catskills
If you need a helping hand, try the end of your wrist.
The contraction and the first and ninth words open it up.
good one! 2 minutes....
lol most of us do I think
Easy, less than a minute to crack it open.
Quicky
Wu hu! There are 4 go-to words I use whenever I see a 4 letter contraction and, for once, I picked the right word right off the bat.
