I've discovered that there are a few of us out there, who can't start the day without doing the daily Cryptoquote or cryptogram.
You can find this little fun word game in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here.
If anyone is interested in starting a club, we can take turns making one up and posting here daily. Just drop me a line that you're in.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter.
For example:
AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW Here's one for today: Clues B=E and R=Y
CYB MASCYBS XAGNUASQ RZP GAK FZZN, CYB MASCYBS MZSUASQ RZP ASB FLNBFR CZ TBB. --ULKTCZK GYPSGYLFF
Beware, the game is very addictive. Don't be intimidated.
If you can solve this under 8 minutes you're good. Under 5 minutes is very good. Under 3 excellent. Under 2 minutes, exceptional.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Hobbies; Miscellaneous; Music/Entertainment

Am I allowed to post my answer, or is that a spoiler?

Please add me to the CrYpToGrAm ping list.
Are these most straight substitution puzzles or can they be more complex substitution puzzles?

Good grief. I have a headache just trying. 8 minutes? 8 days maybe. There’s no other clues? That’s it?

1st cryptogram I’ve done where a letter was itself.

I'm a cryptogram freak, and have thus become addicted to the website
www.cryptograms.org.
The cryptograms there are like eating salted peanuts - you can keep consuming one after another after another after another.
Check it out if you're a cryptofreak like me.
