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.

Waste it wisely.
It is when everyone else is late.
I thought this would take a lot of time and effort, but got it right away.
No waste there.
“Five minutes early is on time.” means you wasted five minutes.
You posted video of the crime in progress. Nicely done!
Hmmmm, I would think that it’s the opposite that’s true.
Irony goes to the internet to die.
Not even wrong.
Hmmmm, I would think that it’s the opposite that’s true.
Wouldn't that depend on what the rest of the people do?
