Crpytoquip!

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.)

Hfl uwbplq el opuv g plyu! Ylxx, O cvu aluulb.

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..

Cleone · 10-17-2003, 05:38 AM

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'.

kineom34 · 10-17-2003, 01:00 PM

^_^ Good job. I think I might make another one now...

How did you know U=T?

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.

I know how...I just suck.

I am not trying this

**Cenright** · 10-28-2003, 11:12 PM

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

**Cenright** · 10-28-2003, 11:32 PM

You have to be logged in to get it kiddo.

Teegarden · 10-28-2003, 11:34 PM

It was me XD logged me out b/c I took too long trying to figure it out.

**Cenright** · 10-28-2003, 11:42 PM

Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villains.

**Cenright** · 10-29-2003, 12:13 AM

I'm sorry. I even tripple checked it. It is "scum and villainy" also.

-Edit-
It is now someone elses turn.

Teegarden · 10-29-2003, 12:15 AM

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

Kay scoup next syrexl ki scin...

**Cenright** · 10-29-2003, 12:18 AM

What about the one letter hint?

How about S?

Teegarden · 10-29-2003, 12:22 AM

S=B
Have fun.

**Cenright** · 10-29-2003, 12:28 AM

Kay scoup next syrexl ki scin...

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.
