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.

Why don’t you guys just post the answer to the cryptogram? I mean these clues are about as obtuse as a fat lady’s butt.
At least you solved it before being spoon fed clues that tell you the name of the author. Jeeee Whiz.
😂
That’s why I solved it first, then came back here to read the crappy comments afterwards.
Yeah, they’re as subtle as a charging elephant.
I try to do that. If I’m totally stuck, then I’ll look at the clues.
How can they be helped when we don’t know what they are anymore?
