CRYPTOGRAMS
Saturday April 14
by Catspaws
There are many things I enjoy: chasing mice, a nice tuna filet, a catnap under a shade tree. But what I enjoy most is a good game of Cryptograms, and other than having a dozen players, what really enhances a Cryptograms game for me is when I manage to confuzzle Fancy...
Ahem...
Cloudbase did manage to steal away Fancy's usual perfect score by solving the first puzzle ahead of the Top Cat, which made me purr happily.

Not to be outdone, Fancy beat out Cloudbase and Ryuken in solving the second puzzle.

Fancy, Jake and Cloudbase were successful in deciphering this list of five-letter commodity names, which had a simple starting point with the common final letter.

Continuing with the five-letter theme, Fancy, Jake and Cloudbase pored over the lengthy DI SYSTEMS display to solve the next puzzle.

Tallying the scores, Fancy came in first, as usual, with Cloudbase stealing second place and Jake coming in third. We play Cryptograms every Saturday at 3.00pm eastern on the Cryptograms channel, and you can sharpen your deciphering skills by solving the puzzles found in past issues of the Star.
