Hello everyone,
I want to do something fun for everyone. I'm going to write a Bible verse in a form of a cryptogram. It's up to you to solve the puzzle to let me know what Bible verse I'm referring to. I'm going to be quoting from the New King James Version. Here goes!
UDC JDL KD QDPTL NET RDCQL NEYN ET JYPT EGK DZQX ATJDNNTZ KDZ, NEYN REDTPTC ATQGTPTK GZ EGB KEDIQL ZDN MTCGKE AIN EYPT TPTCQYKNGZJ QGUT.
This is a very well known Bible verse.
To solve any cryptogram, it helps to know a few strategies.
One-Letter Words are either "a" or "I"
Common two-letter words are "at", "in", "it", "is", "to", "me", "as", etc.
Note common endings such as "e", or "s", or "ing"
My favorite is to look for the common three-letter words such as "the" or "and"
With the word "the", I often look for other words that start with the same 2 letters like "that", "there", or "their".

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
WOO HOO! I am the winner ... right?
Grace

You go Gracey! I think the winner should make the next one. What do you all think of that Idea? This should be a fun game!

Not by works in righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. That one took some time! I have heard of "ball hog" ; I am wondering if I am a "letter hog" and should give someone else a chance to solve the puzzle. Grace |
