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.

Took no time. Authors name gives it all away.
Started with the last two letters of the ANBB word. That led to the middle name of the author, then everything else.
I first tried Burr’s first name as the author’s middle, but that didn’t work out well.
Rhododendrons and water.
My favorite credit!

The kangaroo 🦘 was so rude!!
That helped thanks
Author’s middle name did it for me. From there filled in the whole name, and the rest was just typing.
Yeah the above got me there and so it began
