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.
3 minutes or less is the goal today.
The first two words were a give-away and that opened up the rest.
Yes, all but the third letter of the author’s last name.
Who?
I had the same issue. I just ignored the letter. I do not count names. So many different spellings.
Adapted from a much earlier observation by Rumi, a Persian poet. Search “Rumi wound” (neither word in the cryptogram).

One minute except for the 3rd letter of the author’s last name.

Thanks.
