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

OOOKKKAAAAYYYY
That was extermely confusing
That was extermely confusing
Loved it. Crypto's are always nice to figure out. Keep up the great teasers!
Ham this was a 'hot' 'trail' to blaze for us. Thanks, I really enjoyed it. Some of my favorite quotes!
This path...a tedious task leading to quality quotes. Well done.
its absolutely a cool teaser
Too difficult for me....
I tend to agree with Broly
Once again I have to agree with Coachpisco.
I have never commented beforebut......hve to admit this was sooo wierd
WO BU ZHI DAO!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I THINK YOUR CODE IS WRONG. SHOW ME, USING THE CODE PROVIDED HOW IT WORKS.

I was very confused....
ACCORDING TO THE CODE PROVIDED, THE FIFTH WORD, i.e. MQG SHOULD BE "THE", IF I SUBSTITUTE THE LETTERS PROVIDED, I GET HXB, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
"MQG"
T=M
H=Q
E=G
you were looking up the letters backwards. the code is in the right column
Good teaser

Two awesome quotes. LOVED IT!!!!
its ok but hard
its ok but hard
For some reason letter substitution teasers just don't do it for me....
I have always loved crypto puzzles, and this one was worth the effort. Keep up the good work.
I like this type of puzzle, thanks a lot. Although it did take alot of time I enjoyed it.
KAOG IKG, A GKZITGS AM!
These kind of teasers drive be batty! Please,please somebody explain to me how to figure these out!
ok...it was a little confusing. how r we supposed 2 figure out the code?
i do not understand crypto ones
ok um the code doesn't make any sense at all. if it does... please explain it to me.
Great quotes! I am used to seeing the code on the left side of the answer (makes it easier to locate), but just took a sec to figure out the switcharoo.
I am completely BAFFLED???????? I guess decoding is just not my forte.!!!!
Not my favorite type of puzzle either. I like hints that give insight to the theme of the cryptograms. Thank you for your effort though.
UCH ... my brain hurts!!!
patpat553--each letter has its "code" letter which doesn't change, so once you figure out what that is you can use it for the rest of the puzzle. Start with words that have limited possibilities, such as single letters in the sentence that must be "I" or "a" or three letter possesive words that can only be "he's" or "it's". And knowing it is a quote, you know the tag will be a name that you might recognize the length, etc. chip away at it bit by bit until you solve it. If it was easy then it wouldn't be much fun, but you don't have to get frustrated! good luck!
I love cryptos. Just like crosswords, if you do them often, you pick up on trends and familar combinations. Anonymous, for ex. is often the 'one word' author, and gives you a good start. Good job.
first time I come accross one like this . Have to print it and keep working at it. A real teaser!
Thank-you so much,Casarussell for the explanation. Now I can't wait for another one to see if I can figure it out!
Hey, hamburger, thanks for another chance to work your cryptos. Such fun. Anything worth doing is worth some hard work to achieve. Thanks for making me feel like I accomplished something today. More please
Ladies and gentlemen, Fulanito has just completed his first cryptogram!
Okay, okay; technically, my first was the "Forrest Gump" one a few teasers back, but that was way easy. THIS one... I actually worked it out. I swore I'd never be able to do one of these, but I did! I EVEN GOT IT WITHOUT USING THE HINT!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HUGE THIS IS?!?! I'M INVINCIBLE!!! THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T DO!!! SOMEDAY, I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!
Okay, I may have gone a BIT overboard there... My apologies...

Just read the comment before mine. So funny! Congrats on figuring it out!

Busy, busy work. This is for children. I want to be entertained or challenged, not given usless busy work. We can all do these, we did them in school, so why are we doing them now?
When I was a child, I did childish things, when I became a man, I put away childish things.
