You need a cipher key to solve an encrypted message... Why would I waste my time trying to figure it out by trial and error?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
So the comment was directed at me.
Why not try and solve it. It’s actually a lot of fun:
Today is an easy one from a well known author with three names.
Error wasn’t really an option on this one.
I’ll put you both on our ping list.
There is a small challenge to solving these. This kind of cipher has appeared in newspapers for decades, and a lot of people, myself included, enjoy the challenge, and the quotes are usually somewhat amusing.
FYI, this is a simple monoalphabetic cipher with the restriction that no letter can substitute for itself (a cryptological weakness). It’s like a crossword puzzle or anagram, not a major intellectual challenge, but fun for some people, but not other people’s cup of tea. Enjoy or ignore. If you aren’t interested leave us alone.
Thank you.
