Product Description:
This super cool challenge book is full of intriguing cryptograms. For those who are not familiar with cryptography, it is the art of deciphering secret word messages; much like military or ancient secret codes. Each word puzzle in this book is a quote by a famous or well-known person from history. Each puzzle looks like a random assortment of words; but in reality, each letter is a certain number of letters (forward or backward) from its intended letter. For example, the word “yaujjx” translates to the word “really” after having been deciphered. Each puzzle has a different algorithm for an extra brain push. This book contains 630 puzzles, an index in the back with hints for each puzzle, followed by an index with answers for each puzzle. The featured quotes include the name of each author. 287 pgs, pb.
