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
Can you decode the following phrases? They are NOT regular substitution cryptograms, but they all follow the same rules.

Cryptography is so not my forte, but that was, for me, a nice work-out. Apologies to those for whom cryptography is "easy"
Very nice, Nice quotes also
stick to REAL cryptograms...this was a major disappointment...
that was an exercise - my eyes are out of focus now but it was fun!
I honestly enjoyed that one.
Sorry for those of you who think crypt is east, i don't.
It was different than others i have read.

I didnt get it... but it was very slick, cool too
I am as bad at these as I am at understanding a woman.
The quotes just seemed to jump out at me. Easy, but very fun. Keep up the good work.
Yeah me!! I FINALLY got a Cryptography teaser. That goes to show you how easy it was since I never never get cryptography teasers. Thanks for posting, now I can say I got one right!!!
at first, im like.. what??
then im like.. oh! i get it!
then im like.. oh! i get it!
I must be stoopid when it comes to cryptography -- I didn't get it even after I saw the answers.
I'm with you craniac ... I still don't understand it. I had to give it a "no vote."
I tried one more time and finally got it. When I read it backwards the first time, I read the "quote" only, without including the author. Once I started all the way from the end, it worked out.
Technically, I don't think this is a "cryptogram" in the true sense because the letters aren't coded.
