How to solve a cryptogram

A quotation has been enciphered: every letter is swapped for another, the same way throughout. Crack the substitution so the quote reads. A few letters are given to start, and the answer is at the back.

The method

1Fill in the given letters. Write each given letter into every cell with its cipher letter, and watch the short words start to form.
2Attack the short words. One-letter words are A or I; common three-letter words are THE and AND. Each placement unlocks more.
3Use letter frequency. The most common cipher letter is often E, T or A; doubled letters are usually LL, EE, SS or OO.
4Check the answer page. Every puzzle decodes exactly one way, and the full quote is printed at the back.

The one rule: Same cipher letter, same real letter throughout; no letter stands for itself.
What the answer page shows: The fully decoded quotation.
How the grades differ: Harder grades reveal fewer starting letters.
Good for: Solvers who like deduction, patterns and a good saying.
