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.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
By the Avenue of Pennsylvania,
In the wigwam called the White House,
Lived the big chief known as POTUS,
Called The Big Guy, Hocus Pocus.
Fought a battle with his rival,
Donald Trump, Swamp Creatures' Terror
One man leaves when two men enter,
Fought for days and weeks and longer,
Fighting still this mighty combat.
Who will be the POTUS winner?
Will The Donald Win the wigwam?
We will know on next November.Unknown

Not necessarily the rest of the story.
Good Day!
Maybe the good old days were not so good. Maybe. I can’t remember.
And now we know the REST OF THE STORT.
Ooops…. REST OF THE STORY
The more things changes....
