Uplifting Cryptograms
Encouragement, earned the hard way - one letter at a time.
The Czar is not a sentimental man, but concedes that morale has military value. This file holds quotes intended to encourage: on persistence, courage, and carrying on when the sensible move would be to stop.
Inspirational quotes are the friendliest cryptograms on the site. They are short, they use plain and common vocabulary, and their letter frequencies sit close to textbook English - which means a straight frequency count actually works here. If you are new, start in this file, in casual mode, and let the free letters do some of the lifting.

Questions for the Czar
Is this a good category for a first cryptogram?
It is the best one on the site. Uplifting quotes are short, use common words, and have letter frequencies close to textbook English - which means the standard tricks all work exactly as advertised. Play in casual mode and you will also start with several letters already revealed.
What does casual mode give me?
Casual mode reveals a portion of the letters for free before you start and gives you a generous supply of hints. Expert mode gives you the bare ciphertext and nothing else.
