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 need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

A little tricky until you see the pattern of words. POZ is a good clue.
I thought it would actually be pretty easy.
It was a little unusual. But love the author.
If his OPRNWPBN from RPWWPUGCWNQQW were still alive, he’d absolutely agree.
1 minute.
Get the 1-letter words then the common 3-letter word and it falls into your hand.
Hah!
Remember what Fox Mulder always said?
I loved that show way back when.
Доверяй, но проверяй.
Kinda tough getting started on this one.
I can’t think of anything worse than having your name an synonym associated with lying....
