SOLUTION OF THE cRYPToGRAM.
First Jet the cryptogrammaije student look care
fully into the relations OF the letters OF the Ian
! guage to each other. The letters of the English
! language in regard to frequency of use, may be
divided according 10 the basis Of the OF print
ers. giving those most used Is follows A, C. ID, +.
! II, l. L, n. o, Z, :, T. U. Subdviding these we
find the following letters are mosi used IN the or
/ der named: X, $, Il. o, A, r, N Let the solver
carefully inspect the crypogram, and he viii find,
/ II It Is composed in ordinary language, that the
! letters last named predominant in the ratio of
I almost TWO TO one. Let bfm then arrange an al
phaDet, placing opposite each letter the number OF
times 1t Is used in the crypt and be then has basis
winch viii IN all probability give him seven letters
Of the crypt at once. Now, remembering that every
word of the language has at least one vowel he is
ready to make test 10 discover which letters rep
/ resent vowels. With these obtained he is on the
4 high road to success.
The next key is the study Of terninations The
following are the most frequently used in the Eng
] lish language; Is, ING, ED, Frs ON, Err, TIE.
! IH. -. by carefully comparing examinations
the solver generally arrives at the discovery of at
least two three letters which he is then ready to
substitute Ia other words of the crypt.
Another key Is the occurrence of double
! letters. The two cons0aants most frequently
/ doubled are : az the termination and L in
/ the body OF words. With rare exceptions
/ Z and o are the only vowels doubled. The
length Of the word. together with the position
Of the double letters, may give the student fair
opportunity OF judging what the doubled letters
are when they occur. The solver should also
study the grammatical construction of the SEN
teuce, eadeavoring to form opinion, from their
relations, which words hel0Hg to the various parts
Of speech. The punctuation cannot be too closely
scanned. An apostrophe may give you the letter
! :; a comma may indicate an adverb an adjective
or relative pronoun, which gives at once the key
1 to the entire cryptograua--' Hazleton'
