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.

I had two letters of the first name, guessed at the name, and dismissed the idea. Then came back when the puzzle was solved, and I’ll be damned....
Yes, I like her
Oh my, that was an easy one. I read the first part in about 10 seconds.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
Is it a little bit creepy that the guy on the “Operation” board is awake through all of these surgical procedures?
1:53.71 Got a late start because I had my eyes dilated this morning. (I’m fine.) It was a challenge posting the solution.
