Hi! If you have a look further down this section of the forum there a threads with ciphers in them. 

Will this one do? It is fairly straight forward. Not much in the way of bells and whistles, just a lot of grind work.

If you can't get a hold of this one I can give you one clue.

Edit: Yet another version of this. See post below.

First off I want to apologise, the original cipher had a few "spelling errors" for the lack of a better term. I have edited the post so it now have the correct cipher, hopefully without any more mistakes.

Do you mean Ceasar cipher? Close, but no cigar.

You have done admirably despite my mistakes and are definitely heading in the correct direction in many ways. As for the clue look at where the text says 'abcdef', there is only one instant I can think of where that would pop up in a cipher. Hope that helps.

Don't give up on that thought entirely, you are definitely getting warmer. And you should know that I'm a very backwards person sometimes. That's all I'm saying.

Good night and have fun with it tomorrow.

 

I got this:
R=N
X=I
H=A
T=D
E=V
L=N
O=E
K=U
V=C
T=D
How many of those (if any) are correct?
EDIT:Solving this when english is not your native is really  hard.

I would.Jeez this is incredibly hard.I guess im missing something obvious.Any clue?

GOT IT!



























HERE IS A CIPHER TO GET YOU STARTED.THIS IS A  FAIRLY  SIMPLE  FORM OF
CIPHER USING LETTER SUBSTITUTION.I HAVE ADVANCED IT A BIB BY USING A
CODEBORD FIRST.HERE IT IS HILTON, IF YOU GET THE CANON REFERENCE I AM THRILLED, AND THEN INVERTING THE ALPHABET.PLUS IT DOES NOT CONTAIN CONTRACTIONS. ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE IS PUNCTUATION, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THIN IS A RATHER LONG MESSAGE WHICH MAKES IT EASIER TO CRACK. A MOOD RULE OF THUMB IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CODE CRACKED IS : KEEP IT SHORT ,AND I HAVE NOT.I HOPE THIS DID NOT MAKE YOUR HEAD HURT.
IT DID!

Read Conan Doyle's  "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." There's a cipher in it. I don't think the gutenberg press (free on-line version) reproduces the ciphers, which are drawings.
