{wiki=Cryptogram}
A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a piece of plaintext that has been encrypted through a simple substitution cipher, where each letter in the original message is replaced by a different letter. The goal of the cryptogram is to decode the encrypted message using logical reasoning, frequency analysis, and pattern recognition. Typically, cryptograms appear as short quotes, proverbs, or phrases, and they are often presented as a fun challenge in newspapers, puzzle books, and online.
