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.
Oh Boy!
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.

Good one! The Biden White House FWJYICPS.
...but both will be full of s**t.
(That just jumped into my caffeine starved brain. If you think it inappropriate, have the mods remove it)
An accurate description, if somewhat crude.
Never heard of the author, although the family name is common among my ancestors.
Not too difficult to flush out the solution to this one.
Thats usually for clogs, but it does pay homage to the profession.
It says something about society, though not necessarily something good, that both of us thought of the Stooges when presented with that quote. Maybe I saw too much of them last night

Single letter and short word pattern opened it up fast.
You win the thread.
A minute and a half.
First word, single-letter words, keep at it.
No runs, no drips, no errors.
