Cryptography
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.Cryptography

Good one! Once I got the 'love' cracked, it was easy! And good quotes too!
What the?
That was tough!! It was the first cryptogram I've tried though. (Are there techniques?) I thought I was on the right track for a while, but I guess I gave up too soon!!
Fun though!!!
Fun though!!!
Well done. I'm not that experienced, but given a few "the"s thrown in, I usually can figure it out. Not this time.
WTF???
Well Nytwynd, I loved it, took me awhile. Keep these coming. Great saying also
okkk
Here's a couple of techniques.. Single letters are almost always A or I. Apostophes try T or S (DIDN'T) or VE,RE (I've, You're). If A=b then A is B all the way thru the quote. Two letters ina row (All, Too, Well, Less). A four letter word stsrts and ends with the same letter try (THAT). Hope that helops you.
Thanks Okie!!
So basic logic was the best way to figure that one out?
I guess I WAS on the right track, because that's pretty much what I was doing. The word "says" was easy because it was followed by a colon and then a phrase in quotation marks. The letter "e" was at the end of a bunch of words, so I guessed that correctly. I got the "I", and "love, and a few of the other letters, but I must have messed up somewhere, cause I got stuck. Shouldn't have given up so quickly! I did enjoy trying though!
Perhaps I'll buy one of the books, because code-writing has fascinated me since I was a kid. (My mom introduced us to "Pig Latin at an early age).
And when MY daughter was 10 or so, she actually CREATED A LANGUAGE for a fantasy world that she made up. It was written as well as spoken!! She and her brother actually conversed in it!!
Sorry this turned into a book.... but I couldn't resist telling that little tidbit!

Hey I got it right
First I got is 'mtam' which is actually "SAYS" because it's followed by a ":" so i guessed it rite. Then becoz 'a' in 'mtam' is 'Y' I was thinking the "aej" is a three letter word that begin with 'Y' which is must be YOU, and so on
BTW, I though "wzzl" was FEEL but later on I knew there's something wrong because the word 'pzrwqm' couldn't be anything if there's 'F' in it.
It's the first crypto teaser I've tried to finish, thanx it's fun

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm glad people liked my cryptographs since this is the only type of teaser I can do
