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.

Think bigly.
Today’s author just showed up in an ad on the American Thinker website.
When I finally figured out that the little word HW was not what I first guessed because the letters did not fit right anywhere else. Looking carefully at solving the author’s name, I finally saw what HW had to be. The rest of the words were then easy to fill in. Only thing I am missing is the last letter in the name.
Quotes like this make me feel better about my life.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
3:09.30 Letter frequency and first two words opened it up to me. Not the EO. OJABAEA you’re probably thinking of.
Who the heck is Dr. Stologo of Lagaony? /jk
Think in Fwench
I might have expected EOA instead of EO.
It took as fast as I could type. I started with the most common letter, which got me the fifth word. That opened up the rest of the puzzle.
