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.

Messed up the single letter words and ended up with a struggle, but that’s OK. The fact that I could concentrate as long as I did is good.
I was in a wreck over the Holidays (I took a good shot) and since then I’ve become easily confused. My ability to concentrate has been impaired. Slowly I’ve been getting better as today’s puzzle confirms
Thanks for the mental work out.

Hey, hang in there….
Thank you .
Those two letter words messed me up also.
Had the one letter words reversed and that led me far, far astray. Lol
At my age, that’s all I can do. LOL
My old truck was an 02, had it for 19 years. I was used to it.
New one is an 18....with all the bells and whistles. Still can’t figure out half the buttons and trying to read the owners manual is a real trip! HAH!
Any sentence only made sense with an "I". (spoiler: highlight the blank between the quotes for the answer).
