apparently the cryptogram tag is a tag synonym for cipher so I guess that’s what I’m using
So recently I have been trying to get back into solving the cryptoquotes because I used to enjoy doing them. This is the cryptoquote for today in the Wisconsin State Journal, which I’m struggling to solve:
GAED CXH'L YGDUD QAP'UD
TUAE; CL'X YGDUD QAP TCHS
NCMGL YGDH KNN MUAYX
SKUR. - VCDUFD OUAYH
Here’s my attempt at solving this:
Right away I assumed CXH'L
=ISN'T
, meaning that we can rewrite this with
ISN'T
GAED CXH'L YGDUD QAP'UD
IT'S I
TUAE; CL'X YGDUD QAP TCHS
I T S
NCMGL YGDH KNN MUAYX
I
SKUR - VCDUFD OUAYH
Now I felt like it would be reasonable to assume that QAP'UD
=YOU'RE
, mainly since you're
is the only word that I could think of that had two letters after an apostrophe, so now it is
O E ISN'T E E YOU'RE
GAED CXH'L YGDUD QAP'UD
RO IT'S ERE YOU I
TUAE; CL'X YGDUD QAP TCHS
I T EN RO S
NCMGL YGDH KNN MUAYX
R IER E RO
SKUR - VCDUFD OUAYH
Now I can make out the first name PIERCE
(V
=P
and F
=C
) and this is my current progress and where I’m stuck:
O E ISN'T E E YOU'RE
GAED CXH'L YGDUD QAP'UD
RO IT'S ERE YOU I
TUAE; CL'X YGDUD QAP TCHS
I T EN RO S
NCMGL YGDH KNN MUAYX
R PIERCE RO
SKUR - VCDUFD OUAYH
So my question is: Is there anything I could do from here, or have I assumed anything incorrectly so that I’ll now have to restart?
