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.
Should be like taking dictation today.
Let’s all try to do it under 90 seconds.
Took it over before you start the clock.
Post your scores and COMMENTS ABOUT THE QUOTE.

Quick one and so true.

Got it in less than a minute. Great quote from a notable quotable!

A bit over a minute.
Letter pattern in word one...gives 2nd most common letter, then words 2 and 4 by grammer. Off to the races.
Quick this day, ELU and ELU variants open up this puzzle
I visited my friend at work one morning
My friend urged me not to close the window.
Why?
Because if I closed that window, he would not have anything to do that afternoon
Yes, very fitting
