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.

You are Johnny on the Spot. Does a bell go off, when the TC is posted?
Tricky one today, esp with the author.
The author did it for me.
Today's Author's poem, For the Union Dead was the inspiration for this monument to the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Colored Infantry Regiment
No, I occasionally check to see if it’s posted. I prepare a text file after solving it, so all have to do is cut and paste the next day.
Thanks for posting these! Most common letters, etc. Pretty quick.
I started wit the most common letter, and then got the ninth, first, and second words. The rest started to open up from there.

For some reason, I got the author’s first name then it fell in place. Is very appropriate
who’s that in the bushes?
She’s back!
There you go, scaring everyone away....
LOL,
Still curious, who’s the guy in the bushes? Looks like it has the outline of the Presidential Seal, but it’s just weird looking.
Well, that was fun. First time I’ve ever tried this. Please add me to your list!
Looks like somebody treading water
Will do and tomorrow’s today’s Cryptogram is going to be dedicated to you our newest member of the family!
Why thank you! I feel honored!
