I do it every day

I’m on the ping list

I do it alone

The time to solve depends entirely on how difficult it is. It is silly to generalize how long one “should” take. Some have one two or three letter words or obvious “th” words or punctuation that gives it away.. others are devoid of such clues: especially the short ones.

I never use the clue or read ahead to look at people’s clues.

I normally solve it in my head before writing anything down or using the cryptogram helper - I must enter the letters in order rather than jumping around.

Thanks for all your work on our lovely cryptos.

1) I solve them randomly, when real life allows. But when I do, I usually do both that are in the thread.

2) 2-3 minutes

3) very rarely use the clue. I also try to solve it before reading the thread for others clues. But when I’m reallllly stuck, they help.

4). on the list

5) I play alone.
