If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under two "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
Its easier to work on the puzzle without having to use your pencil.

1 minute not a single pause. Apostrophized word is the key.

I bet this one has something to do with fake news. I notice CNN appears twice in the sentence.

Unless you guess the author, first. That gives you nearly half of the alphabet.

4 .... first word opened it up (for me)
Yesterday stumped me...went back a few times —must have NEVER gotten or tried an A or Y——at least in the same segment.

Here’s a puzzle for you: Why isn’t Sally Yates in prison?
To: grey_whiskers; nikos1121
You are correct. That word unlocks everything.

3 min. The second word and the hyphenated first name of Author were my big helps.
This quiz has now become a part of my morning routine right after my devotional.
Quite enjoyable.

Good job!!! That should make you feel like you’ve accomplished something. They will be getting easier as you continue to work through them. You’re doing great!
We’ve got a small but growing group here who are starting their day with the puzzle. I am quite sure that when you turn 60 and before, you should be doing these little mind puzzles.
Let’s see how well you’re doing them, one week from now.

7 minutes. One of my SLOW ones...

Under 8 minutes is still very good. Great quote IMO

3:50, once I got my thumb out of my ear and quit insisting to myself that the multiple three-letter word wasn’t what I thought it was, it went fairly quickly ...
