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.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
1:08.88 The first word is what you think it is, and after that it’s just typing.
60-90 sec. Too many letters to click on.
Most common letter, first word, fire at will.
Yes, you are right. You will know the first word as soon as you guess the right 1-letter word.
Check your mail.
Took a second, but that got a guffaw out of me!
Thanx
