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.

You are doing it wrong.
Keep going, the boat will float off. It’s worth a truck if it means a day fishing.
This is a good one. Agatha Christie used a part of that quote as the title of one of her books.
It wasn’t the one whose title was changed when they published it in the U.S. was it?
Hamlet ala Gilligan
You have a typo between
the first letters of
WOOWPIB
and
TUYAF.
BTW author’s name gives the puzzle away.
Not a typo, it’s correct. But I stumbled on the same wrong word.
404 coffee not found error on my part. Thanks!
the rest of the statement:
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
