Cryptogram Puzzle 5,679
Answers

Cryptogram Puzzle 5,679 decodes to a quotation of 5 words attributed to an unknown author. It runs to 39 characters and uses 15 distinct letters.

The chart above shows the real letter frequencies of this quote — E×6, L×4, I×3, N×3, O×3. That is the pattern that cracks it: in ordinary English E is the commonest letter by a wide margin, so whichever cipher symbol appears most in the puzzle is the first substitution worth testing. We publish the decoded quote and its author; the game generates its own substitution alphabet per player, so no fixed cipher is shown here.

This quote has no very short words, which makes it harder than average — with no one-letter or three-letter giveaways you have to lean entirely on letter frequency and doubled pairs.

This puzzle sits in the 5,601–5,700 block, with puzzle 5,678 and puzzle 5,680 linked at the foot of the page, so you can keep moving without returning to the index.
