Musical Cryptograms: 250 Verses From Some of the Most Popular Songs Ever Recorded

Book overview A cryptogram is a type of puzzle where a (relatively) short phrase is encrypted by using substitution cyphers.

Basically all the letters in the phrase get replaced by different letters.

It is the job of the puzzle solver to "crack the code," figuring out which letters replaced which letters to find out what the original phrase was.

Solving these requires frequency analysis as well as some pattern awareness.

The more familiar a person is with common phrasing, punctuation, and letter combinations, the better off they'll be.

Inside this book, you'll find lyrics from 250 popular songs, ranging from what was on the radio in 1930 to what people are streaming today.

Your job will be to crack the code and figure out the lyrics, song, and artist.

This will require sharp codebreaking and logic skills.
