A while back I thought it would be fun to pick up one of those mind puzzle books to wet my noodle. ‘Lo and Behold: I work a block away from Barns & Noble and happen to have a gift-card burning a hole in my wallet.

I picked up Cryptogram A-Day Book for $7.00. The almighty google says:

A cryptogram is a type of word puzzle popularly printed in some newspapers and magazines. A short piece of text is encrypted with a simple substitution cipher in which each letter is replaced by a different letter. To solve the puzzle, one must recover the plaintext. This is usually done by frequency analysis and by recognizing letter patterns in words.

I didn’t actually realize it was just substitution when I picked it up. Kinda boring, really. I hacked up a quick perl script to (theoretically) make it easier to find the plaintext. So far I haven’t put much effort into it. Feel free to give it a shot:
