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.

It has pretty obvious letter patterns.
Today’s CG is an easy peasy. I think we might have some people breaking the one minute barrier.
3 minutes good
2 minutes excellent
1 minute you’ve made it to the Hall of Fame
I was lost at first, but BXJCJ BJ got me on the correct heading.
Sometimes I amaze myself with my own stupidity.
Good one today.
And thanks for all you do, with these posts and the rally posts.
Common letter, small words, done.
1.5 - 2 min.
1st and 3rd words (letter frequency).
Seventh word.
A truckload of short words.
Mopping up.
Not bad, not bad....
Author great BUT his father just as prominent etc and author a wounded Veteran also.
It shouldn’t take a Sherlock to figure this one out....
2 Minutes. I knew right away the author was not “anonymous”.
huh?
I admit extremely tangential if not obscure. More of a ‘feeling’, lol. But this was a difficult one to not give away, especially since Sherlock had already been tossed out there.
Good one
Elementary
Don’t be cocky
I would never think of it. :)
