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.

Too easy.
Huh?
Ok, if that’s the case I’ll post tomorrow’s Cryptogram one day early.

Thanks for the head start.
Yeah. Sorta fell into place rather quickly.
I’m reminded of something Robert Downey said in “Back to School”
Robert Downey had a rocket going through his helmet (not really but was made to look that way)
Very quick.
Single letter word, and the two words just before it, and then the double letters, and there it is.

Little more than typing. More or less like scoring an own goal. The author’s observation is utterly banal, of course.
Yup, quick and easy.
I wonder if he was thinking of that euro-weenie version
That took a lot longer for me. But hey, they all do.
