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.
Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

Delightful little CG from yesterday’s Arkansas Gazette.
Sometimes the most common letter is not the most common, but it will help you get the author.
Pretty easy except the author; most common letter not present in body of text!

Te author was hard for me too. The quote was a snap.
Wasn’t that the definition of retirement from another CG sometime back?
Shun google!

Retirement=every day is Saturday
After solving the quote, placing the “missing“ vowel in they obvious spot in the author’s surname gave me the first name, which filled in the rest of the surname...if that makes any sense
Never really took one and with a lot of people it takes to long to ‘retrain’ them once they get back.
OF course, in todays world with sick leave, pregnancy (for both) leave, private days, holidays, (which looks like we will get more added to the list), and the ever popular ‘I just don’t feel like coming in today’ the plate is almost full..
Seem to recall and old ‘joke’ with the boss going over all the ‘authorized’ off time and it breaks down to about 8 hours a month and he says AND, here we sit wasting time talking about it ... GIVE ME THE 8 HOURS PLEASE!!!!
Yes, me too. Realized that the most common letter was missing, but showed in the name.
Got it, too true.
Never heard of the author.
Yeah, neither did I.
