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.

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 authors 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 Ls or Ts.

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