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.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
First two words, then first two after the comma.
Cute one!
~ 2 minutes; the contraction opened it up.
Great clue!
Just under two minutes.
The contraction and the repeating words helped make this a quickie.
1 min.
3rd word contraction;
1st and 2nd words,
touchdown!

Went down a blind alley, before I saw the light.
Is there an UP missing in the first clause?
