CRYPTOGRAM­S

- myles mellor

Cryptogram­s are encoded sentences, where each letter has been substitute­d with another. Each puzzle has its own code, but subsitutio­ns are consistent throughout that puzzle. A letter may not stand for itself. For example, JVVW could be code for KEEP, making every V in that puzzle an E, etc.
