Puzzles
The puzzles below are groups of related words for each of the
Trap Trilogy novels in a simple substitution code - one set of letters has been
substituted for the correct letters of the words in each group. Look for words
that might reveal themselves by the unique spelling or the frequency of the letters
in a given word. When you have identified the letters in a word, knowing those
letters will help decode the other words in that group - if A stands for T in
one word, it will be the same throughout that group. However, each group of words
has a unique code.

To solve the puzzles, place the letters in each column into the
boxes directly above the column in order to form words. The letters may or may
not fit in the boxes in the same order as they are presented in the columns. You
decide which letter goes into which box above it. Once a letter is used, cross
it out in the column and do not use it again. A black square indicates the end
of a word. The letters of some words continue over two lines. When the diagram
is completed, you will find a quotation from one of my trap trilogy novels.
