The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogr)am).
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.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram. Double the fun today. There are two quotes to solve but the letter substitution remains the same in both.

Verbum sapienti:
Apple misspoke (mistyped?) when she said that the letter substitution is the same in both. Two independent puzzles with different substitutions.
Reminds me of the “bonus puzzle” I posted last April 1st. (Hint: there was no solution, it was just random groups of letters.)
Oh my goodness! You are right. I copy-pasted in the wrong version. I’m so sorry to have messed it up. Thank you for catching that and putting out the word.
😵💫
A twofer! Now I’m twice as awake and alert.
Thanks.
Is there a mistake in the solution to Sundays puzzle?
Yes, M sb K. Sorry, it’s hard to proofread when you know what to expect.
