    Oh wow, a cryptogram! Because who doesn't love decoding a message by tirelessly guessing which letters have been switched around?
    I'll even grace you with an example shortly. Get ready to have your mind blown.


    How To Play

    A cryptogram is a word puzzle that includes encrypted text which the user (you) decrypts in order to reveal a message of some sort.

    In some cases, each letter may correspond to another letter.

    In the example shown above, 👆 it's so obvious that the letter before the apostrophe is a N, who wouldn't know that? Therefore, all of the O’s should be replaced with N’s.

    Apparently, the letter after the apostrophe is likely a “T”. No way, Sherlock!

    So next, we should replace all W's with T's.

    Check this out - the fifth word can't be "didn't" because there’s isn’t a double “L”.

    Instead, it must be "Aren't".

    Trial and error, along with filling out letters, is exactly how we crack top-secret codes.

    🥁 🥁 🥁
    The winner will receive 50 bentos.... are you serious? Yes, as a heart-attack!


    For the second puzzle:

    The "lucky" winner will receive 100 mcs.

    Because, you know, 100 mcs is just sooo hard to come by. 👀

  2. Are there rules on using tools to solve the puzzles?
     
  3. Good question, you can definitely use tools like a pencil/pen and paper. But just a heads up - outside software is a no-go…. But how would I even know tho? 😂
