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.

When I was in Alabam, they told me that anything other than pulled pork wasn't barbecue, it was just cooking outdoors.
That’s a new record for you or close....congrats!
I have done several in under a minute and posted the times, always truthfully. You have been posting earlier this week, and I am only half-awake when I tackle them.
huh? He ws doing this? Thought his death was natural causes?
Don’t know how but I guessed the ninth word correctly and the rest just fell in place.
1 minute 30 seconds, give or take a few.
Long time addict before. All kinds of drugs, actually.
IOWs another guy who, like many of us, could not handle success.
PS: He hanged himself. Sad, really.
Contraction, 1-letter word after contraction, word after that, much easier.
Don’t know the time cause I got interrupted by the Pest Control guy ringing the doorbell...
