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.

A lucky guess on the fifth word, and the rest quickly followed.
COMOV is the key.
Pretty easy, forgot to time it.
Most common letter, 3rd word, 5th word, 6th word.
Could have done without the first three words.
Very good point. Kinda cheapens the thought coming from her.
Focused on the contraction and ZYWP
Ayn Rand comes to mind - “what you could have produced, if you could have produced it.”
