Below are four lists of related words and phrases that have been translated into simple cipher alphabets. The letter
substitutions remain constant within any one group of words (for instance, if V represents G in one word, it will
represent G in all the words in that list), but change from one list to the next. A tip to new solvers: Start by thinking of
answers that might fit one of the categories; then see if any enciphered words in the list have the same letter pattern.
The fourth list has been left untitled. Solve the code to determine what the items have in common. ANSWERS, PAGE 72'ǚǓǜǘǝǠǣǙǘǙ BY RAYMOND SIMON
