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.
Someone posted this little quote on the wall of my gym this AM.

If life was only that easy.
Trump president 2024
Full control of Senate and House in 2024
2 more conservative SCOTUS judges
Romney out in 2024
Etc
No one said it would be easy. Today’s author did not have an easy life. He worked hard for what he achieved.
He did ????
And then liberals will ruin it.
But wokeness will destroy his WFKNG.
Beat me to it!
Took a WAG on the first two words...jackpot.
The ones I had as a teenager were beyond my ability.
The key for me was QD and QA. What two two-letter words have the same first letter and make sense. By consulting a list of two-letter SCRABBLE words I was able to narrow down the choices.
But what if THEY are all nightmares? Wait... those did come true.
