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.
