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 Hal’s Helper below:
You can work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Pleasant interlude upon a mid night awakening. Once the 4th word emerged the others fell into place 3 minutes.

Three minutes. Tinkering around with the possible 3-letter words (the most common and obvious ones) revealed the last name, and from there it was just bing-bang-boom. He’s a favorite of mine.

1 min. This one was trivial.
