Middle-Earth Cryptograms
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.

One Ring to find them One Ring to bring them all And in the Darkness bind them. ?

Thanks Bombadil.
Quote:
And I'm moving this to the Quotable Quotes forum, as I think that it is probably better suited there. So, next question: HCT QXGT VJG OKUVA OQWPVCKPU EQNF VQ FWPIGQPU FGGR CPF ECXGTPU QNF YG OWUV CYCA GTG DTGCM QH FCA VQ UGGM VJG RCNG GPEJCPVGF IQNF It should be fairly straightforward if you can work out the meaning of 'QNF'.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold.

Lady, you know all my desire, and long held in keeping the only treasure that i seek. Yet it is not yours to give me, Even if you would; Only through darkness shall i come to it,

Not sure...is this right?
Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go to heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall and wind may blow, and many miles are still to go, but under a tall tree I will lie, and let the clouds go sailing by. (sometimes 2 letters were used in indicate the same letter)

Thanks, luthien.
How about this one? I suspect that it will be fairly straightforward: Quote:

But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!

It is as I feared. This wizard has bewitched you. Are none to be left to defend the Golden halls of your fathers, and all your treasure?

Is this right? I am not sure... if it is, then there were many mistakes in the puzzle.
Down leaped Shadowfax like a deer that runs surefooted in the mountains. The White Rider was upon them and the terror of his coming fooled the enemy with madness.

He looked up, sniffing the air. 'What fun! What fun to be off again, off on the road with dwarves! This is what I have really been longing for, for years! Good-bye!'
