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.

First word (don’t guess wrong),
1st word after comma in 2nd sentence,
2nd word of 1st sentence, 4th word, 3rd word,
off to the races.
Forgot to look at time.
Tough one for me. It took me a long time to convince myself of the single letter word.
I made a couple of attempts and got nowhere. Just came back, tried again, and started by guessing the double letters in the 5th word and 3rd word in the second sentence. It went quickly after that.
