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.
Tricky one. From the Arkansas Democrat Gazette

After a couple of false starts on the first contraction , the author’s name became obvious.

I think there’s a typo in it.
Maybe 90 seconds.
Two guesses on the last letter of the first word; that and most common letter in a three-letter word give word 4.
Which gives author’s name.
But I think there’s a typo (as hinted) in word 4 and later when that same word is repeated.
No typo....
I had to run through the alphabet before I found the right letter in word four,
Got the contraction and word 4 wrong.
Looked up the quote
keep at ‘er
No typo.
I don’t think it is a typo, but it is a strange word to put there,
Yes...
Huh?
