A cryptogram is a puzzle where a piece of text is encrypted by substituting each letter with a different letter. Your task is to decode the secret messages below. Remember that the same letter in the cryptogram always represents the same letter in the original message. Look for common letters, short words, and letter patterns to help you solve them!
Decode the famous quote: "FEEW FYR HFW, YIF YRGFU!" Hint: The original quote is about dreams.
Solve this riddle: "What has an eye, but cannot see?" Encrypted: "RDBM UBU YU UZ RYY, FGM RDBM UBU XUU?"
Based on the cryptograms above, match the encrypted letter with its corresponding original letter.
1. F
a. T
2. R
b. H
3. Y
c. A
4. U
d. E
Think of a short, inspiring quote or a simple riddle. Encode it as a cryptogram using a substitution cipher. Then, write the key (which original letter corresponds to which encrypted letter) below your cryptogram. Challenge a classmate to solve it!
