Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Crypto-list

Crypto-lists are like cryptograms. One letter is substituted for another. The same substitution is applicable for the whole list. For example CHEESE would be written KOQQPQ.

Please feel free to develop your own.

My Favorite Superheroes

QYJWU

AFSST YJTISFT

UETIFSWW

FSM ICFTJMC

HEVWYSI

ZYJWIVD RJT

ZFVTDSWW ZFCBSDIFJ

JICR

FJKST

DUJRSYSCT XCL

Cute puzzle. But you need to change the first letter of the third one to "U" and the fourth letter of the last one to "R".

Fun but there are 2 mistakes I caught (I think) See below)


QYJWU = FLASH

AFSST YJTISFT = GREEN LANTERN

VETIFSWW - IUNTRESS (UETIFSWW = HUNTRESS?)

FSM ICFTJMC = RED TORNADO

HEVWYSI = QUISLET

ZYJWIVD RJT = PLASTIC MAN

ZFVTDSWW ZFCBSDIFJ = PRINCESS PROJECTRA

JICR = ATOM

FJKST = RAVEN

DUJTSYSCT XCL = CHANELEON BOY (DUJRSYSCT XCL = CHAMELEON BOY?)

Ackkk! Beaten to the punch by Chaim (again )

Thanks.

As Jakeem Thunder would say, "Dr jrrw!"

"I like to dive in it like a porpoise... burrow through it like a gopher... and toss it up and let it hit me on the head!" - Scrooge McDudk

Maybe I'll try to come up with one.

Here's another. Superhero-related.

"MF BK MZTM IF SK, 'TFR OZCCZ QK Z QZJ PRT?'

This is fun. Why didn't I ever do cryptograms before?

I made the correction so the quote would be coorect.

One good thing about these things is that you don't really need confirmation. If you've got the answer, you know dashed well that you've got the answer.

Matthew, First line last word (EORWB) word should be "EORWJ"

Thanks; fixed.

"To the Legion of Super-Heroes, I Make this solemn pledge: to use my powers for good, to fight for justice and protect the innocent, to aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe. I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Timber Wolf!"

I'll post something new tomorrow.

Nevermind. Too slow.

It is not a matter of being the first to solve these puzzles.

I do look forward to your puzzle tomorrow.

Apparently I'm just going to keep doing these.

And have another before I leave for lunch. This one, you might be able to figure out without actually deciphering it.
