About 1 and 1/2 min. Guessed at 2nd most used letter in english and my journey to the finish opened up.
Took a good guess at HBN and there it all was.
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.

Missed this yesterday !
Vowels lead the way
This was a good one. I lucked out by guessing on some of the two-letter words!
One way to put it.
BUT
If ‘we’ carry it with us, why search any further???
One of my favorite authors. The first word was easy, after that.... boom. Two minutes.
