So, I made a tool to create cryptograms for a friend who loves making puzzles. But first I want to put it to the test and what better place than here, our beloved and polite community (yeah right!). It was made using Google spreadsheets, which I know my way around them. But I needed to do some coding, which I didn't know. So, it was mix of research, watching tutorials on Youtube, frustration, trial and error, but a lot of heart.

Before you start you need to know a couple of things. The prize is a cheap bundle game we all love to hate and that there are a few rules to enter the giveaway:

  • You need to be at least level 4.
  • Minimum ratio using number of gifts Sent/Won on Steamgifts: 0.75
  • Your account must have activated all the won gifts
  • Your account is not allowed to have won the same game multiple times.

You have one week to solve it.

Have fun: Puzzle

EDIT:
It was fun making you suffer and thank you for your feedback!

Oh wait, did I? I didn't even open the puzzle, I just saw "movie quotes" and posted one of my faves because I'm a dork. Haha, I'll delete it. Sorry about that.

lol. I heard somewhere that if people type "/s" after a statement it means "sarcasm." This would probably result in fewer misunderstandings and confirms Pitbull is an amazing musical artist. /s

One person solved the puzzle already. Added some hints to the spreadsheet anyway.

Bump for solved!

The game may be cheap indeed, but I don't think I wasted my time at all! Thanks for the fun! :)

EDIT: Oh, I didn't realize there was a new spreadsheet version with hints! I downloaded mine yesterday, it had only the letter "a" solved in each puzzle. So I guarantee it's perfectly solvable without any more hints! :)

I thought the A's are the hint... Don't see anything else :D

You're right, there are no more hints in the new spreadsheet! It seems I was using the easy version after all!

In that case, I can't guarantee that it's solvable without hints :)

I'm sorry, Clerius is right. The A's were the hint I was speaking of. They weren't there when I first posted the puzzle.

It's ok, it was my mistake. I should have checked the current version before assuming there were some more hints and boasting that I didn't need any of them! :)

Bump for not getting much of anywhere with this. I'm not very good at puzzles.

Checked the thread just to find out wth was a "Crytogram", only to realize it was just a typo with an exotic resonance.

Solved for a second time ^^ It is a pity that excel is not compatible with the google spreadsheet (the part where the solution is written and you can copypaste it. Ye I downloaded it instead of creating a copy)

Yeah, sorry about that. Tried to fix it in Excel with no luck.

Well, I've already got a hefty percentage of the bundle games floating around on SG, so not really surprised that I couldn't enter in the end! Still, thanks for a fun batch of cryptograms anyway :)

No rush, you still have 4 days. But only if you are having fun solving them, that's the whole idea.

Thanks for the cryptograms! I was thinking about making a cryptogram puzzle site, but your spreadsheet worked quite well.

Too bad the giveaway game was so painful. But it was a good test of the system!

I have the exact same problem, I'm running out of ideas how to format the answer :/

I've added the original title as a possible solution. But you only have 4 hours left, so you better hurry.

One more thing, once you decrypt the message, you can see the answer on the right side of the spreadsheet. Click it once, press Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V in ITH.

Bump for solved, that was a lot of fun! Don't really care bout the bundle game, but I had enough fun solving the cryptograms themselves so you're forgiven ;)
