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.

Solution to our last puzzle:

THE ONLY LIMIT TO OUR REALIZATION OF TOMORROW WILL BE OUR DOUBTS OF TODAY. –FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT

3 and 1/2 min. Got the first word with double letter. Then the e. I was unsure about last name of author, had to google quote to confirm author’s last name.

Everything but the last name...grr.

Jessica Wei, a blogger who collects inspirational quotes, observes that the author’s own work embodies the meaning of this pithy quote. However, the quote is better known than the work.

Will have to guess repeated letter in last name or Google it.
Nice quote.

I love these.

I got under 4 minutes, but completely guessed at one letter in the last name (and got it right).

[Political Junkie Too]

About 15 minutes. Guessed at the first word, then tried the usual three letter word for the other, then got the first name. The rest flowed from there. Didn't know the author's full name.

About 4 minutes. Had to diddle around with that first word a few tries...

[JayGalt]

OK then. This was a difficult one for me. I puzzled it out eventually by placing the e, taking a fly at the first word and then the first & middle names.

But in no way do I agree with the sentiment. A typical oversimplification where something that is true in some cases is elevated to a truism & becomes false. Wasn’t surprised the author was a digital artist. Try that theory with medicine or building bridges.
