Another very fast one, under a minute. The repeated two letter word and it just filled in after that.

Once one gets “W” and “P” the rest should fall like dominoes.

Two minutes. I played with the first two two-letter words, and also found the second word, and then the rest fell into place.

Another 3 min. Place the E, add the common 3 letter that contains the E, that gives a strong suggestion of the first word. That give the key to the 13th word and the rest fills in quickly.

Under 2 minutes.
First two words seemed obvious as to how a sentence would start and opens the thirteenth word.
The fourteenth word is also an easy clue.

When I got the first two words (took much longer than it should have) the third was apparent, it is was more or less typing from there.

Easiest one so far. Did it in about half a minute. Makes it fun when there are hard ones and easy ones!

XFICOLXSKME led to ATLMJEPNLC. Plug and play from there.

3 minutes flat. 3 letter words are the key.
