CRYPTOGRAMS
Saturday February 2
by Catspaws
Turnout was light for Cryptograms this week, but Fancy, Angelfowl and Cathy finally showed up for a game. Angelfowl was new to Cryptograms, so it was fun to teach her how to solve a puzzle.
With most of our moguls anxious to promote, I felt it only appropriate to focus on them. Fancy, of course, finished the puzzle first, followed by Cathy and then Angelfowl.
Names of Moguls:
JQVQVVHP
DZHT
KQGHKKD
MWYPMWG
EJDKKT
QPQZAQKW
I learned the hard way there are some things you do not want to eat. The next puzzle is the result of that rather painful lesson. The players again solved this puzzle in the same order as the first.
Commodities that Most Likely Are Not Edible:
QXDISZSZYC
OZHKMXFFC
KJEFNCZGKC
EHNRKC
FXCKHC
SHNZSC
Cathy, unfortunately had to leave the game at this point. We returned our focus to the moguls, who have the pleasure of managing more than one planet. Both players solved this puzzle. (Do I need to tell you the order?)
Systems with More than One Planet:
HMYXKDBZE
RHBDYMRBI
EBJRIY
HVKXVM
HRVXXY
ABDDVCWYDD
A close friend had a crisis at this point, and I had to adjourn the game until Sunday afternoon, when we again picked it up. How many things can YOu think of that can be found in the spynet displays?
Found on Spynet Review or Spynet Financial:

I was never much for talking to myself. Fortunately, there are several quite chatty mobiles in Sol who are more than happy to converse with me, although they tend to only want to chat about their own interests.
Talking Mobiles:
UXEH
BYYVMY
DQZIXE
IEKZYF
JQYNYM
OEQYNI
When the scores were tallied, Fancy finished first, Angelfowl second, and Cathy third. Join me each Saturday for the brainiest game in Fed, Cryptograms. And if, like Angelfowl, you are learning how to play, be sure to pull up back issues of the Star and solve the puzzles posted within.
