Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Cryptographers, both amateur and aficionado, take on some serious challenges with these puzzles based on a variety of popular subjects in several genres. For example, fans of Italian cuisine can dream of a delicious "Frekqhuun" (Spaghetti) while trying to make sense of an amusingly appropriate quote from Sophia Loren: "Hjgrodllc wgb td dgldb ymhl hawwdhhpaqqv cp vma cbogqd cl qcid g zgwaay wqdgbdf." ("Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner.") Includes over 80 puzzles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Armchair Puzzlers, July 10, 2005
This review is from: Armchair Puzzlers: Cryptograms (Paperback)
The book has interesting cryptograms, but the letters are too close together, making it difficult to write in new letters. I became very frustrated and am ready to throw the book away.

2.0 out of 5 stars could be better, January 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Armchair Puzzlers: Cryptograms (Paperback)
The cryptograms were both witty and held my interest. The letters were far too close together for me. Had the spacing been further apart I would have given it 5 stars. I was not able to do but a few due to that. Thank you, Robbie Poor
