# This and this - 5 cryptograms

Here are some cryptograms for you to solve:

• Point 4: The double space is nowhere to be found? Between which characters is this double space? – JBSregath Mar 20 '15 at 14:43
• @JBSregath it is between "lieteilsht" and "hi!", I edited the question changing the quotes in code-blocks, that should solve the problem. – Marco Bonelli Mar 20 '15 at 14:47
• meta.puzzling.stackexchange.com/q/1717/4551 mentions that "Before any hints appear, the puzzle is way too hard." I'm sorry, but I think most are not that hard except for 4 (which actually uses a fairly common encryption method). – the4seasons Mar 21 '15 at 13:10
• Yes, Len said it well. These codes are pretty standard ideas, and that's what makes them solvable with short texts and no additional hints. You can extend them with more novel ideas. See my meta answer. – xnor Mar 23 '15 at 1:30

Cryptogram 4 is:

But i still finished this set!

encoded with 6 column transposition per this sequence:
1 6 11 16 21 26 2 7 12 17 22 27 3 8 13 18 23 28 4 9 14 19 24 29 5 10 15 20 25 30

Cryptogram 5 is:

encoded with Morse code (0 is dash, 1 is dot, 2 is letter space, 3 is word space).

• I accepted this answer as it solved the hardest problems in the series. But everyone has contributed, so i'll upvote the answers. – the4seasons Mar 22 '15 at 13:25

3)

I don't actually have much to write about

the method

Reverse the sentence. and then I noticed it was pretty much readable already. To get the real sentence replace every vowel in the solution with it's next letter in the alphabet

In progress... :)

1)

This is the first cryptogram in the series.

method

(Ascii character numbers)

2.)

AND THIS IS THE NEXT

Method:

Treat each pair of digits left to right as position of the corresponding letter in the alphabet, 00 = SPACE; 01 = A, 02 = B, 03 = C, ...
