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.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
HE MORE SOME CORPORATIONS ARE DRIVEN TO PUBLICLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY’RE “WOKE” THE MORE THOSE SAME CORPORATIONS PROVE THAT THEY’RE ACTUALLY ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. -SAVE FERRIS "B", solved here as "F" in "FERRIS" could be "F","G" "J", "Q", "X", or "Z". Your guess is as good as mine.

This one took me like thirty seconds to solve, but I had some letters left over.

LOLOL! Same thing happens for me when I try to assemble something. I find I don’t need near the number of parts they enclose in the box.

I can imagine the author will NOT get you fired for not calling him Dr.
Thank you for the assist.

I tried to put together a model of the USS Missouri, but they must have put a Ford Mustang kit in the box.
