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.
From The Arkansas Gazette. A TOUGH ONE!!!

What about Icarus?

Oh wait… I was flying too low! I finally got the PYY word and that was the key.
Today is my birthday and thinking about the meaning of this quote reminds me of how much fun you puzzle FRiends have meant to me.
This is fun, isn’t it? Author’s first name did it for me.
Happy Birthday!

Icarus learned that coming down is the hardest thing.
Now I’ve got that steel guitar lick stuck in my head. Thanks Tom Petty.
Started with author’s first name.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! - Patrick Henry
