Ok, this one is tough! I'd be glad to give a clue if needed.

good luck!

Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves, but you cannot forever fence it out.

haha, wow. Even as I was typing that it was tough i still figured Luthien would get it. Awesome job! So prompt also! You're up :D

hehehe, I do seem to have a knack for this type of puzzle. ;)
Here is, I hope, an easy one...I am leaving on a 7 day trip tomorrow and am not sure if I can get internet access without paying alot for it!

'PH P KT PA PF EGM HKMIA,' FAPD BPIBG. 'PA PF TPVL, P ALII EGM. TE GSN. TE CNLUPGMF. ELF, TE CNLUPGMF.

(owww, I wasn't even trying to make a word with this, but 'elf' came out! Somehow, I find things like that to be cool :rolleyes: )

well, i gave time duiring your leave to see if anyone would join this game besides me, and no- but that's fine! I'll just have to give the answer! *Btw, there were some discrepancies, like in the "said Bilbo" part, you had some letters representing themselves. Just letting you know! Here it is:


'If I am it is your fault,' said Bilbo. 'It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.'

Ah, so I did...I was in a hurry in making it...with packing and all. Sorry :rolleyes: You are correct with the answer.
This is a great game, I don't understand why others don't get involved :confused:
Your turn.

Let's get this rolling again!
 

Sorry! I forgot all about this game - although I think the only person I'm apologizing to is Luthien, lol. Here's a new one! It's been awhile...

Hi Bombadil :) , I figured it out...but I will wait a few days to see if someone else may, perhaps, answer. :)

Ha! I knew you'd get it! Smart move by the way, maybe we should start doing that everytime, because it also takes awhile to make one of those up! :)

If you don't mind my asking, I have never for the life of me been able to get these things. How do you go about solving them?

Some good tips are looking for certain repetitions of common words.

Par example:

UHG UGG WQSAX UHG OPZZ.

In most cases the UGH would represent "The" or "And." A lot of times it's process of elimination. In this case it represents the. So far you'd have:

The tee WQSAX The OPZZ.

If somewhere else in the clause you see a single letter it has to be an I or an A in almost all cases. These are some strategies, but basically you have to do them and practice them. Usually when someone starts out it's good to have one or two hints. So if you'd like one just ask ;)

By the way, my little example cryptogram says, "The tee holds the ball." :D

okay, that should help. Thanks for the tips!

Now I can feel proud of myself for figuring it out :)

Correct! Luthien we have another player! ;)

Great job Firefoot. Way to go! It didn't take you long to catch on! :)
Good tips, Bombadil. Also, it helps to realize that certain letters, such as 'E', 'S', 'T', etc, are used alot in the language. So look for letters that are used alot in the crypto and see if some of those fit in. Trial and error work. Look for double letters in words too, these are usually 'LL' or 'EE" or something like that. The easiest cryptos to figure out are ones that have a single letter in the puzzle, because this has to be an 'A' or 'I'.

Can't wait for the next one! :D

Not sure of the last word...but, how about

It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose you must start somewhere and have some roots and the soil of the Shire is deep.

That's correct.

That is Galadriel to Frodo.

You caught on very quickly, Firefoot ;) Correct

Thanks. :)

Hint: The Silmarillion.

I believe it is...
 

Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight.

That is correct :D. Don’t you just love that piece, absolutely beautiful.

Truly!
 

Ok here we go...

"Nay, dear Lord," she said, "that choice is long over. There is now no ship that would bear me hence and I muse indeed abide the doom of men, whether I will or I nill: the loss and the silence."

Perfect! Except where you wrote "muse" it is "must." No biggie though, thanks for your participation, this game is starting to get bigger! You're up!

Well e is just 2 keys away from t.... I have to learn to type one of these days lol

It's a neat game :D

Might be a bit too difficult... but it does have a good deal of short words too... and the name of a certain elven lord in it... consider it a hint (:

Bilbo to Gandalf.

This is a very satisfying game to get right. :)

Wizards ought to know better: They do know better. There is no curse in elvish, entish, or the tongues of men bad enough for such treachery. Down with Saruman!

Good job, Bombadil. Your turn!
