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.
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
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.
A tough one today, I think.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. Theodore Rubin.
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
Easy one…. Guess at the most common letter and you will then recognize the last word…. Then it solves itself. I was about to say that I have no idea who the author is, then it hit me smack in the face, LOL.
Author, never heard of em
This explains Mulder?
Sure you have. He’s the first baseman.
Third base!
The author is not Terence. That’s about as far as I got.
I thought this one might be tough, but you should be able to get the author.
Natasha seems like a better fit but not right either.
