Well, that took 5 or 6 minutes because I diddled around with the small words instead of staring at the name. Once I figured out the name (which was kind of a forehead-slapping “Duh! moment) I was okay.

Got there after a series of “try a bit, go away”, “try a bit...” rinse & repeat.
The first word of the cryptogram, when solved, was the point of entry. I thought the author’s name was never coming but the ending of the first name gave the clue.

Took me forever. I kept focusing on the phrase. When I focused on the author, it all fell into place.

WOW......Guessed correctly on first name at FIRST mini-glance and took me much longer to ‘fat finger’ hal while I was ‘reading’ it to myself.

With me that is the key.....If successful on first one or two ‘guesses’ fine, if not, I seem to hit a road block and can’t get started (Which hasn’t happened for about a week now)

The name clicked for me - under a minute... first time for a while my time was worth mentioning on here.

Two minutes. I took an educated guess at the first word, and that got me the first name, based on the double letters.
