Do
you take pleasure in solving codes? If so, these cryptogram puzzles are for
you.
Cryptograms are coded messages. They are made by sustituting letters for other
letters like so:
PTBI BI L SCEYE FYIILXY OBPT IVNIPBPVPYE MYPPYDI
| P | T | B | I | B | I | L | S | C | E | Y | E | F | Y | I | I | L | X | Y | O | B | P | T | |||||
| I | V | N | I | P | B | P | V | P | Y | E | M | Y | P | P | Y | D | I | ||||||||||
In
the above code it can be seen that the 'I' is always substituted by a 'B', the
'T' is always substituted by a 'P' and so forth. It is usual for all letters
to be sustituted by another; meaning that no letter of the alphabet represents
itself.
The object here, is to find the person and their quote. These puzzles may be
completed online.
A useful starting tip: Single letters can generally only be 'A' or 'I'.
It is also wise to look at the frequency of letters, as some are more common
than others, 'E' would be one example.
I hope this will be of help to all those beginning the fun pastime of solving
cryptograms.
Good luck to you all!
Enjoy!
Cryptograms are fun!
