WORMSCryptograms are coded messages. To solve the Cryptogram,
each coded letter must be replaced by the answer letter in the
box overhead. When you solve the code for a letter, write the
answer letter in the box everywhere the coded letter appears.
Look for common words and letter patterns to break the code.
Words like AND, I, THE and A are found frequently. Common
word endings are ING, S and E.FAMOUS QUOTES FROM YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLEQUOTE FROM WINSTON CHURCHILLCRYPTOGRAM QUOTES
