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 2 "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:
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, PEOPLE HAVE NEVER BEFORE EXPECTED TO BE AS COMFORTABLE AS PEOPLE DO TODAY. JENS RISOM
Several familiar sequences here. 3rd word "ABCADB" (also the 13th) and the 5th word "ABCBD" sequences should by now be familiar for "PEOPLE" and "NEVER".

Two minutes. Found the "e" and the third word, then the second word, then the fourth word.
