Decipher a Coded Message
Hints
-
Find your first letters by looking for the one-letter
words, "A" and "I." (If the letter is capitalized and in
the middle of a sentence, it's probably an "I.")
-
Look for a three-letter combination that repeats
throughout the message. Chances are this word is "the."
-
A single letter that comes after an apostrophe is
probably an "s" or a "t."
-
If you're still stuck, try to figure out some of the
two-letter words (as, at, if, it, is, of, to, etc.).
