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.

2 minutes or less is the target today.
I know the author.
I am way past the two minute mark...hmmm.. struggling.
Clever
Even with the first letter being VERY obvious<: <: <:
I went past the target, but I loved the puzzle.
Like, clue in the opening to thread
Excellent!
I smiled as it unfolded.
Huh?
I remember her.
Anita Bryant. Isnt that the author? LOL
SPOILER ALERT (SOMEWHAT)
I got fooled initially into thinking:
K FKO ITZSPQZ APGCTXR ZPFKO’A
was:
A MAN XXXXXXX XXXXXXX WOMAN’S
but then I realized what ITZSPQZ was and got straightened out.
Same here!
Me too. Let me try again...
First word, misfire on the second word, but hit on the third word...off and running.
You don’t recognize her?
You can’t spell Antifa without Anita.
