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 familiar source.

Som Ting Wong with word 18.
Did you leave out the word “with” or did HE leave it out?
An easy one.
But I guess in this case a Chinese alphabet character makes as much sense as anything else. :-)
The Groper speaks ?
C’Mon, Man!
The New York Post or the author must have left it out. Good catch, I’ll add [with] to the solution tomorrow. Hard to find while proofreading, because your brain automatically adds it.
Am I the only one that got the rogue 達 in word 18? Maybe it’s an iPhone thing?
“ No joke.”
No, it’s a

thing. It does that with apostrophes. I have an octave script that behaves better but the website is easier to use.
Nah....climate change.
Recognize the Asian character for what it is - a conversion error made by computer. The word before that character is easily recognizable. A lot of my code has produced such booboos.
For Terry Gilliam fans this is more Jabberwocky than the Baron.
