Sit & Solve Cryptograms by Leslie Billig (Paperback - Sterling Pub Co Inc)
Simple substitutions--that's all you have to do to come up with a solution! Just figure out which letter stands for another and you'll be able to read fantastic quotations from famous people. Don't worry, you'll get hints on how to begin and narrow down the choices. Remember that a one-letter word is always A or I, and that in a two-letter word, one must be a vowel. Apostrophes can also eliminate lots of possibilities. Some words--like AND--occur over and over, so look out for them. Keep an eye out for -ed, -ing, and -tion endings, too. In every cryptogram the code is consistent, but it does change from puzzle to puzzle. So, now you know how to go.give this a shot!

Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp by Olivia Carlton (Paperback - Spiral)
Exercise your brain while you uncover some pithy food for thought. Cryptograms are substitution codes--every letter in the code has been replaced by some other letter; you try to find which letters stand for which others. Every cryptogram has a different substitution system. Some hints: Start with the shortest words. Break down long words into prefixes or suffixes. Look for word containing an apostrophe. A chart gives you hints for three letters in each puzzle. The more you solve, the better you get. It's like this: UKG JBPA UBBJ VITY AB PFAHCG HY WKP LBTPAW FYJ UHWK AIRK WHY DOES WOOD BURN SO EASILY IN THE FOREST AND WITH SUCH JHLLHRICWG HY BIT LHTPMCFRP? DIFFICULTY IN OUR FIREPLACE? Get smarter and wiser at the same time!
