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.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for todays Cryptogram.
If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Today’s Cryptogram is fairly easy, and in fact some of you might be able to solve it word for word.
I’m thinking, most will get this one under 2 minutes, and some maybe under one minute.
Really simple one, for a change.

Then again, some people will complain if you hang them with a NEW rope...
Tell me about it!

I was able to solve it word for word. The author was always good for a humorous quote.
One minute, which is good considering the last few days have been doozies.

Was driving all day today. Just getting to this.
