About this video
Cryptogram puzzles are code cracking puzzles, in which each letter of the alphabet A-Z has been randomly swapped with another letter of the alphabet (or possibly represents itself). Every instance of a letter has been swapped consistently, so if A in the answer (plaintext) has been swapped with Y in the code, then every Y in the code resolves to an A in the answer.
