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.

Good point. They obviously have no idea what it means to be a successful WIPYRVPP QVR.
The d...
Ah, you know the rest
That would require work!
It is sooo much easier to just mouth the words some lobbyist-owned staffer places in front of them.
How they go about “messaging...(or massaging)...” those words is their only skill.
I’ve heard it said the opposite way (not by this author).
Unfortunately for us mere citizens the current narrative is to storytelling as a Jackson Pollock is to painting.
Today’s author, for those who do not recognize the name, is better known as UDIRGYNN of Tammany Hall, most famous for the quote, “I saw my opportunities and I took ‘em.”
