Sit & Solve Cryptograms

By Leslie Billig

Book Overview

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!

sit & solve cryptograms

This book is great!My husband & I are really enjoying it. We like that a hint is given for each puzzle, makes solving a lot easier.

Lots of Fun

If you love cryptograms you'll love this book! Each cryptogram was a quote by a famous person. The letter spacing was perfect making it easy to read and solve. Each puzzle provides one clue. If you're diligent you shouldn't need the clues. Only one draw back, the author should not have put the clue pages next to the answer pages. Every once in a while I'd go to the answer instead of the clue. This was a bit frustrating.
