Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves, but you cannot forever fence it out.

well, i gave time duiring your leave to see if anyone would join this game besides me, and no- but that's fine! I'll just have to give the answer! *Btw, there were some discrepancies, like in the "said Bilbo" part, you had some letters representing themselves. Just letting you know! Here it is:
'If I am it is your fault,' said Bilbo. 'It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.'

Ha! I knew you'd get it! Smart move by the way, maybe we should start doing that everytime, because it also takes awhile to make one of those up!

If you don't mind my asking, I have never for the life of me been able to get these things. How do you go about solving them?

Some good tips are looking for certain repetitions of common words.
Par example: UHG UGG WQSAX UHG OPZZ. In most cases the UGH would represent "The" or "And." A lot of times it's process of elimination. In this case it represents the. So far you'd have: The tee WQSAX The OPZZ. If somewhere else in the clause you see a single letter it has to be an I or an A in almost all cases. These are some strategies, but basically you have to do them and practice them. Usually when someone starts out it's good to have one or two hints. So if you'd like one just ask ![]() By the way, my little example cryptogram says, "The tee holds the ball." ![]()

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! ![]()

Not sure of the last word...but, how about
It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose you must start somewhere and have some roots and the soil of the Shire is deep.

Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight.

Yet you were glad indeed to receive our aid when you came at last to these shores, faint-hearted loiterers, and wellnigh emptyhanded.

Wizards ought to know better: They do know better. There is no curse in elvish, entish, or the tongues of men bad enough for such treachery. Down with Saruman!
