Cryptogram

Click on the cryptogram below and print it out.  Each of these cryptograms is a message in substitution code. THE SMART CAT might become MRX DGYUM LYM if M is substituted for T, R for H, X for E, etc. One way to break the code is to look for repeated letters. E, T, A, O, N, R, and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS, and IT are common 2-letter words; try THE or AND for a 3-letter group. The code is different for each cryptogram.
