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.

Looked tricky at first, but the educated guess at PQQICM blew it wide open.
Just get used to the idea. PQQICM is the key.
Unless you get super-lucky on word 3. But I doubt it.
Looked complicated until PQQICM-which was the key.

Ok….pretty obtuse
I had to wade through a lot of pretty sappy ‘give yourself a hug’ gifs to find anything this morning...I am not much of a Hallmark card guy...
You’re the best don’t be so modest
NJSZ ... NJSZYIHT is also a distinct possibility. But I noticed that only after the solve.
Whew, thanks!
Complete stump before your clue
Had a the word after the comma, the ending of word three, but it was not enough to solve
Hey, you’re welcome! Glad it helped.
