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.

Didn’t time myself, Computer Guy’s clue gave away the author, it was just as fast as I can type. I posted my clue before I solved it.
You may be cool, but you’ll never be [TODAY’S AUTHOR] sitting on the bumper of a Packard, grabbing a smoke, outside a billiard parlor in Harlem cool.
Put your hands together and get on your knees to solve this one.
I wouldn’t have known it was him from that photo.
Me neither, it’s just a cool photograph, once you know who the subject is. I saw your clue before ComputerGuy’s. Your clue gave me suspicions, but CG’s gave the show away to me.
Wa
s that a favorite expression of his?
