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.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
Less than a minute. Author was obvious.
Easy. The last letter of the first word starts it all.
Andrew - we’re not supposed to post the solution here - you should delete that post so that you don’t spoil it for others who might scroll down to get some clues.

Hah hah - yeah I forgot - you need an admin to do that !!
One of the strongest indicators of success is delayed gratification.
I know… senior momentary brain fart… I’ve requested the moderator to delete it as soon as I did it, but they haven’t yet.,
Yeah I had one of those too - when I asked you to delete it ! I just totally forgot that we don’t actually have that ability on FR.
Bout 2 min.
End of the 1st word contraction; 3 letter word, end of last word of quote (letter pattern),author’s name, piece of cake.
Oh boy, I’m sorry for the posting error.
This is Today’s Cryptogram.
