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.
Maybe a day late.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
That picture is a thump to the heart.
Where the Brits lost much of an entire generation. In a single afternoon.
Where Europe lost its future, 100 years ago.
Including the author of this piece.
……”Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high”
Will we ever see brave men such as these again to carry that torch of freedom?
OCYXCCJ is not an -LLY word.
Author’s last name looks a little strange at first.
