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 or even one word at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.

Many of you picked up on the first letter being “A” and that told you that the three different 2-letter words began with “I.” Frequently, if the third word is 2 letters, it will be “IS.”And a really good tip came from coaster123 who says he always starts by looking for the “ABCA” sequence, in this case found in the 5th word of the puzzle, that gave you the “E” and you’re off to the races.

That one made me smile.
Well, that took about 6 minutes, because I didn’t start with the 3 letter word after the comma, as I should have. Once I got that word, I knew the name.
