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 Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Again, I had the first three words as I transcribed the puzzle. Then the 8th word, then the HL digraph....

Was on vacation and catching up.
About 10 minutes. Solve the second three-letter word and the rest falls into place.
