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.
Today’s quote is another cry from the fathomless depths of self-pity and hypocrisy.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Today’s quote is another cry from the fathomless depths of self-pity and hypocrisy, so much on display in modern America.
The Worst Son weighs in.
“What me worry”, says the author.
When he says “high” he means “high.”
That’s the clue I needed 😜
