Cryptoquotes: Cryptograms of Sayings by Famous People
By William F. Bultas
A cryptogram is a code made by substituting a different letter for each letter of the alphabet. In a particular code, for example, the l's might be replaced by j's, & the j's might be replaced by b's. Every letter is usually changed, & a different code is used for each problem. For the following 10 cryptograms, the object is to break the codes to discover each of the famous sayings, & the identity of the famous individuals who said them. The answers are on a separate page. Have fun!
