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 Hal’s Helper below:

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Solution to our last puzzle:

We know what we are, but know not what we may be. William Shakespeare

This was a puzzler unless you picked up the author’s name from the unique ABCCB sequence, and then you were off to the races like coming down the stretch at the Indy 500.

Tip of the day

Double letters are more frequently going to be “L”s or “T”s.

Five minutes. The first word and the three-letter word are the key.
