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.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s cryptogram. If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Contraction, 1st 2 words, 4th word...
Yeah, another quickie.....we need a longie

I cannot say that I agree with the author’s premise.
Did it in my head, again! Two days in a row. The giveaway is DH DEG’H SZTKBEZ. Once I guessed SZTKBEZ it was easy. DA HLZ AWWCE comes naturally.
It takes longer without pencil or computer, but I am beginning to enjoy the challenge. I had to spell out the middle name of the author letter by letter.
Good one!
ROFL, once again so timely and true.
Mebbe five minutes. Funny when you get a likely stream of words going, only to see later how wrong they were.
