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
It’s all about control.

Solution to previous Puzzle: (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
IT IS BELIEVED THAT IN THE MIDST OF A FIGHT, A BULL CAN FIND HIS OWN PARTICULAR AREA OF SAFETY IN THE ARENA. THERE HE CAN RECLAIM HIS STRENGTH AND POWER, CALLED HIS QUERENCIA. AS LONG AS THE BULL REMAINS ENRAGED AND REACTIVE, THE MATADOR IS IN CHARGE. YET WHEN HE FINDS HIS QUERENCIA, HE GATHERS HIS STRENGTH AND LOSES HIS FEAR. AT THIS POINT THE BULL IS TRULY DANGEROUS, FOR HE HAS TAPPED INTO HIS POWER. — TARA BRACH
