Great job Firefoot. Way to go! It didn't take you long to catch on!

Good tips, Bombadil. Also, it helps to realize that certain letters, such as 'E', 'S', 'T', etc, are used alot in the language. So look for letters that are used alot in the crypto and see if some of those fit in. Trial and error work. Look for double letters in words too, these are usually 'LL' or 'EE" or something like that. The easiest cryptos to figure out are ones that have a single letter in the puzzle, because this has to be an 'A' or 'I'.

Can't wait for the next one!
