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.

Solve it in
4 minutes is good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes superior
90 seconds amazing
2.5 min or so.
2nd and 4th words by grammar, letter pattern.
A couple of wrong guesses, then the 1st word gives the 2nd.
Then it flows quickly.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
MEN FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING A LIVING FORGET TO LIVE. - MARGARET FULLER
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
I took a stab at PN which gave me the last three letters of NKPBYQLKPWR, which gave me the first word, and after that it was just typing.
The LN xxxxxxxxx LN construct is always a safe bet.
Yes
-PJ
Few minutes
Guess at word after comma
Sorted out the vowels
Then the rest fell into place
