If you don't know what a cryptogram is, it's just a phrase/sentence (etc.) with all letters represented by other letters.

Therefore:

JFB HFBHLAQV
is an example of a cryptogram for
TOM BOMBADIL

As you see, Fs represent Os and so on...

PLease try and use phrases with the letters A and/or I alone, and words with similar letters, so solving it isn't impossible!

And please don't have a letter represent itself (A representing A etc.) I don't know how well this game will go, because it will probably involve solving on paper. ONe more thing! It's not like hangman, it's either all at once or nothing...here's an easy one to start off:

LMO DZMA WL DHTO WJOY RTT,
LMO DZMA WL EZMV WJOY,
LMO DZMA WL FDZMA WJOY RTT
RMV ZM WJO VRDIMOQQ FZMV WJOY.
