I'm not entirely sure how many people know how to do this, so I'm going to give quite a bit of help for this first one. Maybe I'll do more. If I feel like it.
What it is, is I've taken a sentance(Hint #1: From the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail!) and I've switched all the letters with completely different letters. It's 4 in the morning. I'm bored. Sue me. If a letter stands for one letter, it stays the same throughout(Ex. If I switched the letter T with Y, then Y would be T for the entire puzzle)
Things to look for: Single letters and capitalization. (Hint #2) You can usually narrow some letters down to one or two right away. Like if you see a single letter, it is virtually ALWAYS going to be A or I. And if it's capitalized, It's pretty much certain to be I.
Wow, that's a lot more coddling than I would have liked to do. But it is-presumably- your first time at this, so.... Here's your OFFICIAL hint(#3): U=T (Some people get confused by this... This means: When you see a U on there, instead, see it as a T. Write it out on paper, if you have to. Sometimes that makes it easier.)

Good luck.

Gah.. I can't figure it out at all..
U=T,
O must be I because it's a capital by itself..
G must be A because it's a one-letter word..
That leaves '___ t_____ __ i_t_ a ___t! ____, I __t __tt__.'
I can't figure out a thing from there- there's no easily recognisable word shapes to me..

I got it!!
"She turned me into a newt! Well, I got better."
I started getting somewhere when I figured that the only word 'i_t_' could be was 'into', and the first word was 'she'.

This is from Star Wars, Episode IV: Before the party on the Falcon gets tractor beamed onto the death star.
The letter you want is the first person's choice.

Anyone else care to try? I narrowed it pretty far down.

I'm sorry. I even tripple checked it. It is "scum and villainy" also.
-Edit-
It is now someone elses turn.

My turn I guess. This is a famous line from Chrono Trigger:

What about the one letter hint?
How about S?

S=B
Have fun.

I'm Pretty sure T=K
T__ b____ ___k b_____ t_ b___
-Edit 1-
Jeez and I thought I had played that game thousands of times.
-Edit 2-
T can't = K unless
I=O.
T__ b_i__ ___k b_____ to b_o_
-Edit 3-
K can't = A
This gets rid of as, am, at.
-Edit 4-
K can't = I
This gets rid of is, in, it.
-Edit 5-
Words 2 and 3 can't be Black and Omen. The K=P would mess up the 2-letter word, and the O does not fit. It would already be used.
-Edit 6-
The 2-letter word could be on, no. These combinations would be:
O__ b_k__ i___ b_____ on b_ni
-OR-
N__ b_i__ k___ b_____ no b_ok
-Edit 7-
I=O
That is my next guess.

I admit I purposely made it very hard but it is a very famous line from Chrono Trigger. Would you like another letter?
[EDIT: I don't make cryptograms with switched letters, I have a different substitution for EVERY letter. So if K = T then T does not necessarily = K. Maybe I misunderstood the rules, if you want me to I can remake it to where the crypts are switched.]

Just tell me if I got anything right, but then again, this is the first time I have ever done this.
-Edit-
Yes. the rule was that if K=T then T=K
Teegarden
October 29th, 2003, 01:56 AM
I=O is right.
Please read my edit.
Cenright
October 29th, 2003, 01:59 AM
Well I'm completely thrown off now. This is supposed to be a test of logic. It is only logical that if I=O then O=I.
-Edit-
When things are done this way, you can use knowledge of the vocabulary used and basic engish skills to find the answer without more and more hints.

S=B
I=O
K=T

Hm... I'm confused now... Are the rules now that if say, T=K, then K=T? Or no?

You are right Kineom. Moogy didn't follow the rules You swap all letters, but they are all interchangeable. If T = K, then K = T.
