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.

Does this mean it’s okay to yawn during church? I did that once and nobody thought it was a SMART idea.
Never seen the first word used in a crypto before
FOEFGO diverted me, but not for long.
Had to look up the quote for the author’s last name. Took a while to crack this one anyway.
If I’d known it was in a foreign language (especially that one) I’d have skipped it :-)
You love it…..
That’s true :-)

I misguessed the author, but got it in 2:20.71. I got tricked by FOEFGO, as did others.
