If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

Solving the puzzle is an accomplishment regardless of time, but once you get the hang of these it's fun to keep your time.

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 Hal’s Helper below:

It’s easier to work on the puzzle without having to use your pencil.

Let me know if you want on or off our Cryptogram Ping List, (currently at 44!)

Solution to our last puzzle:

You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. Yogi Berra

Today's puzzle has some nice clues starting with the one letter word and the contraction. That should get you started.

Got it done. No Problem as you learn that when you see certain groupings of words. They seem to always be the same. Actually got it completed in 5 minutes.

About five or ten seconds. Easiest one ever. GOOD ONE, too. One of my favorite quotes.
