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:

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

Okay, that was a hard one. That took me 20 minutes. The word with three H’s was the first one I finally figured out, and even then I was puzzled for several minutes. Never heard of him, never heard that quote. That was pretty tough!

< 2min. Grammar informed me of the 2nd and 6th words.
