cryptoGrAms

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.

Last Week’s Cryptograms

1. A lettuce was getting annoyed with a celery who kept following him around. He finally yelled, “stop stalking me!”

2. It’s very green, probably not very big, and it’s often found in summer camp: a brussels scout!

3. When the old vegetable retired from the chairman of the village council, he was dubbed a has-bean!

4. The fruits wanted all their fine trees to grow vertically so they wanted everything to be computed with a plum bob!
