Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
BETTER THREE HOURS TOO SOON THAN A MINUTE TOO LATE. —WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
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.
Today's Cryptogram is from The Arkansas Gazette

Famous author!
I misguessed the first word, but noticed it had the same first three letters as the second and it was off to the races after that.
Rather quick. Common letter and and a good guess on words 3-5 helped…
Hahah...I think we all posted at the same time....
Amen.
I recall this episode...
Was it an episode, or part of the opening credits? I have a recollection of seeing it every week, but that was a looonnngggg time ago...
Ralph Mouth was always doing this kinda stuff...
That is when he wasn’t ruining Fonzie’s bike, and trying to hide the parts in a tree.
Was a pretty fun show until the “Jumped the Shark...” episode....
2 min.
Most common letter, 8th word, 9th words, off to the races.
I loved the author.
Loved that cartoon
