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!"

OK here are some comic book writers. I think I didn't make any mistakes on this one.

HIPC ATT

UGPCZ BXAATG

Nope, no mistakes as far as I noticed.

OK here is a crypto-quote. Comic book related (though not superhero)

“S GSFC UK VSTC SJ SU GSFC M LKOLKSIC,

"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?'

Great quote too Matthew

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.

That I did.

Another from me:

Bonus points if you know where this quote comes from.

And another list. This time the catagory is supporting characters (ex: Alfred Pennyworth)

The trick for that one was, first, to figure out who LPEGPT must be. Don't know where it's from, though.

That's Adam West, in "Batman: The Movie".

Bonus Points for me!

Well it was Batman played by Adam West in Batman: the Movie. Only half bonus points, I'm afraid.

I did figure out the supporting-characters one but I didn't save the answers. But once you see what Q QGLYE QYKPAGL has to be you've got enough to go on from there.

Here's another.

This one should be somewhat tougher. Like the one above, it's not comics- or superhero-related. Hint: this one's a limerick.

This one's a list. It could be really hard, but if you can figure out even a little of it, the rest should go smoothly. As for what it's a list of... that, you should guess at.

This thread seems to have become less popular recently. I'm not going to give hints on the ones above that have been sitting there for a while, as they'll all yield to persistence (okay, a hint on the list: it is a list of names). But I wanted to do another one, so here's another one:

My ancestors were wizards and kings...conquerors. You are a common killer- a mad dog accidentally born in human form. You took my world, made my people slaves, and slew the man I had given my heart to. I need no power to destroy you-

Oh--did I mess it up? Oops; sorry.
