Cryptograms: Grace - It Really is Amazing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798607738921)

Use one cryptogram a day to challenge your brain and to keep you sharp, or spend a whole rainy day stretching your decipher code skills. Solving a cryptogram is a satisfying experience. Armed with just a few clues to get you started you will be well on your way to becoming a puzzle master.

Clues to help you get started:

• I and a are the only one letter words. Therefore, when you scan the coded sentence look for single letters and you know they have to be either an I or an a.
• Apostrophes are also great clues. A single letter after an apostrophe will most likely be a T or S. (such as don't, women's) Two letters after an apostrophe could be RE as in you're or they're.
• Only a few double letter combinations (BB, DD, EE, FF, LL, MM, NN, OO, PP, RR, SS, TT) are used in regular vocabulary.
• Three letter words are also worth a close look. If they are repeated several times in a sentence consider the possibility that they are common words like THE, AND, ARE, WHO, or CAN.
• Using the decoder above each sentence makes this puzzle book a cut above the rest. When you have discovered what a number in the coded sentence represents such as 23=B, in the decoder, write the number 23 underneath the B. Then transpose all the 23s in the coded sentence to B.

Additional reasons to love this book:

• Consider that all coded phrases are quoted from the American Standard Version (ASV), a public domain version of the Holy Bible. Also, each verse contains some reference to the word grace.
• You are sure to enjoy the content, with no worries about vulgar language - totally family friendly puzzle book.
• Each puzzle has its own decoder panel to assist you in remembering what you already know.
• These cryptoquotes range from short to long - so pick your challenge.

Now that you have so many hints and clues you can be confident you'll meet the challenge.
