Jane Austen Cryptograms: Cryptogram Puzzles Inspired by Jane Austen

by Lauren Churchill

Word puzzle and Jane Austen fans . . . Rejoice! Now updated for 2015, this collection of over 200 cryptograms is compiled from Jane Austen’s novels and correspondence. Her wit, wisdom and wordplay are showcased in cryptograms that range in difficulty from Temperate (easy) to Teasing (moderately-difficult) to Vexatious (very difficult). Jane Austen Cryptograms are encoded quotes from Jane Austen’s novels and correspondence. In each puzzle, one letter stands for another. Each cryptogram provides a clue letter to get you started. Start solving each puzzle by first finding the clue letter throughout the cryptogram. If the clue is “D equals G,” look for all the Ds in the puzzle and pencil the letter G directly above it. Then examine the rest of the puzzle to identify other letters. Includes instructions and tips for solving. A must-have for the Jane Austen fan or cryptogram devotee. As Jane wrote of Fanny “She stopt, felt herself getting into a puzzle, and could not be prevailed on to add another word.”
