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 or even one word 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:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Let me know if you want on or off our Cryptogram Ping List, (currently at 55!)
Solution to our last puzzle:
In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety. Abraham Maslow
Toughest puzzle to date, IMO. Came out of Arkansas Gazette Cryptoquote. When you can't get started, your best alternative is to fire up
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
and go after the most frequent letters, thusly you'll find "e" and "t". This one was tough, because the author is unknown. In the end, a quote worthy of the trouble.it took to solve it.
Today's author is one you should learn to recognize.

Took me 5 min. The double letter contractions helped get a good start.

That was actually the last thing I was paying attention to. I got the contractions and conduction and it came together in about a minute and 15 sec.

Yes, it was a good one. I hope a lot of people see it today, as it’s a great one to start out with and another worthy quote I might add!
