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.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

The Contrast With Today's Author is Stunning.
6 minuets, honest!
C’mon, Biden could do it in under a minute! No joke!
Large and in charge.
Somehow I managed to get the Author before any of the words. And funnily enough, I was watching this, this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMYaDMVbZtU
JDD gave me the author.
The rest just fell into place
Truth !
Excellent!
“Excellent!” The video I was watching? Or the fact that I got the author first?
Video!
