Book Reviews of Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp

Book Review: One of the Best Cryptograms Books Out There
Summary: 5 Stars

I am really enjoying the cryptograms in "Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp". I love the meaningful quotes, and the font size is perfect! The good quality paper and sprial binding are a big plus as well.

Also, the hints are arranged in the beginning of the book, so you don't have to worry about having a wandering eye, and seeing the full solution when you only wanted a hint.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to both the cryptogram "pro" & "novice" alike - it's a great one!

Summary of Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp

Exercise your brain while you uncover some pithy food for thought. Cryptograms are substitution codes--every letter in the code has been replaced by some other letter; you try to find which letters stand for which others. Every cryptogram has a different substitution system. Some hints: Start with the shortest words. Break down long words into prefixes or suffixes. Look for word containing an apostrophe. A chart gives you hints for three letters in each puzzle. The more you solve, the better you get. It?s like this:

WHY DOES WOOD BURN SO EASILY IN THE FOREST AND WITH SUCH
JHLLHRICWG HY BIT LHTPMCFRP?
DIFFICULTY IN OUR FIREPLACE?
