WHAT YOU DO WITH IT IS YOUR GIFT BACK TO GOD. LEO BUSCAGLIA Many of you got this fairly fast after picking up on the “YOU” and “YOUR.” Was tough for others, since only 2 “Es.” After seeing the “TO” before the “YOU” it gave you the letter “T.” In the end, many of you told me it was a quote worth solving!

ESKJHMFF Our last puzzle: THERE ARE TWO GREAT DAYS IN A PERSON'S LIFE—THE DAY WE ARE BORN AND THE DAY WE DISCOVER WHY. WILLIAM BARCLAY Many of you found this one the easiest thus far. Probably because it started out with a word, that was easily deciphered, “THERE” giving you the top 2 most frequently used letters in the written language, “T” and “E” (12 of them), and then you’re off to the races.

Today's Cryptogram: DYK QKRWKD LJ SKDDZAS GYKGX ZQ SKDDZAS QDGWDKX. NGWB DFGZA No hint as I think today's might be a bit easier than the past few. Look for the three letter suffix and try to locate the "T" and "E" and you'll be off to the races. Anything under 6 minutes is good, but I think we'll have some people breaking 4 minutes today. Please, post your times, but do not post the answers in "comments," but you can private reply the answer to me. Also, please share any tips on how you solve this or any other cryptograms....

WZJZ OZAYFWDZA We have a 4 letter word with the 1st and 4th letters the same, and both single letter words represented. Then the second and last words are the same, except for the last letter, which should give you your 5th letter. This should help you decipher several words right out of the gate.
