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.
Clue for today’s puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the letters should appear.

Substitute CONFIDENCE for ZSUGQTOYTV, and you have Joe Biden.
1 min 30 sec. I got lucky recognizing the first word pattern. After the first word, fill in the blanks. This is a good quote. Never give up.

I stuck to my guns on one set of double letters in the first word, then focused on the two letter words. It was thrilling getting stuck. ha ha ha
