The key
Each code letter stood for one real letter (code letter, then the real letter it hid):
E → AD → EO → FN → GT → HV → IL → KG → LW → MZ → NP → OU → PM → RY → SA → TB → UR → WX → Y
The most frequent code letter was D (6 times), which stood for E. Short words, apostrophes and repeated letters are the usual way in: a one-letter word is almost always A or I, and THE is the commonest three-letter word in English.
Today's puzzle is never shown here: a day's answer appears once that day's puzzle has closed. The last seven days can also be replayed for fun from the calendar in the game. New to Unquote? Read how to play.
