    I don't mind either way, if the contest is closed early or it goes for the full time. I really did like this contest though! It was a lot of fun

    Sent my answer in. As stated above the secret is to look for words that can simply only be a few words, due to their shortness. Certain letters almost always go or don't go together, ie. its hard to find x next to z in natural English words. Also, anybody who has played Scrabble or watched Jeopardy knows what the most common letters are.

    What does Jeopardy have to do with letters?

    Because Alex Trebek is a very smart guy, and if you had called him, you might have had the answer in minutes.

    Anyone who could use "syzygy" in a cryptogram would have to be a sadistic genius. I can't even use that word in a sentence.

    That's easy!

    You're just about the poorest "syzygy" excuse for a bloodhound I've ever seen!

    Offer to sell it to them for firewood.

    Did the tree do any damage to their house?

    Ending early sounds great to me! Your contest and your rules, the ball is in your court. Just don't throw it at me, it's been way too long since I've played dodge ball. :D

    We now have 41 entries, and I think there may be one or two more in the works with less than 7 hours left.
