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.

The author never met my girls.
I had a hard time getting UZKCN, and once I did, I had to disagree with the author. While there is some merit in UZKCN today there is less and less.
The first four words solved themselves.
I had the same trouble and thought the same thing.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
Ditto.
01:22.53 Pretty much just typing. I had some trouble with UZKCN but like others have observed, UZKCN is more likely the enemy than the saviour of RGMGAGYWCGZI.
Easy for me this AM
I SAW the letter pattern for words one and two.
Then, other pieces fell into place
Yeah, sometimes it seems that, rather than the answer, UZKCN is the cause of the problem.
Yep, iFag smartphones have stripped most benefit.
