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

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:

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

8 min no luck before hint. Less than 1 minute after hints.

Three minutes! Not many names start and end with the same letter. =)

Finally got it.

The clue for me was to think of first names that begin and end with the same letter.

Note: reveal the clue by highlighting it.

Good one!!!

Amazingly I solved it by concentrating on the word: YTAJDCNNZNLUA. I picked a letter for N based on frequency and then I found an English word that has NN-N in it...
