How do you solve a cryptogram puzzle?

In: Word Games [Edit categories]

Answer:

A cryptogram is an alphabet substitution puzzle. In English, the single letters by themselves are either "a" or "I", then 3 letter word are either "the", "and", "way", ect. So if you have a single letter "a" by itself, then have "and" you have three letters to work with. The most common vowels in order are a, e, i, o, then u. The most common consonants are t r s n l . You substitute these letters for the ones you are given until words that you recognise emerge. Have fun!
