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.

Lots of double letter words in this one. That was my key.

Also...
Tada!
I didn’t time myself, but that had to be my fastest ever.
How true.
I always say if I am supposed to be ????? at 0700 and I arrive at 0655, I am ‘late’.
In the service business, better me wait for you than you for me....
At least in MY way of thinking....
You’re gloating
Maybe I was lucky :-)
