Murray Challenge 1
But
dinna fash yerselves. There are several games here, but you needna play them all. Some of the games
are worth 2 points, some only one. The most you can get is 10 points.
We love our Jamieisms, but Herself gives many others memorable quotes. The theme of our games
tonight is quotes. Let’s see if you can solve a few of these. We ask only that you earn 10 points. The
Quotagrams and the Cryptograms are worth 2 points each. The Quotefalls are worth 1 point each. You
get to pick the puzzles that you like best. To submit your answer, you only need to send me the quote.
Please have MURRAY in the subject line of your email, and kindly let me know which lass is
submitting her challenge. Your answers should be sent to [email protected]
To solve the quotagrams, solve each of the clues below the chart. Put the letter for each of those
answers into corresponding box in the chart directly above it. Each word in the quote is separated by a
solid box, so the third word on line one is 4 letters - the first two letters of the word are on line one, the
last two begin line two.

#4 ) Cryptogram #1 (worth 2 points)
Directions:
This puzzle is called a Cryptogram. At the top there is a KEY that lists all
the letters from A thru Z with a box below. Each of the letters has a
corresponding number.
The bottom part contains a quote from Voyager. Each of the blanks has a
number underneath it. Fill in the letters that correspond to the numbers
below the blanks to solve the phrase.
Each Cryptogram is worth 2 points, and each one has a different ‘key’ to
help solve it.

To solve a Quotefall, all of the letters that you need are given in the column above. You just need to drop them into the
correct box to form a quote from Voyager. Something to keep in mind - the words wrap from one line to the next. In the first
puzzle, the first two lines end after a word with a dash following the last word. I changed the dash (-) to a ~ so you would
not think it was a hyphenated word. The 4th line of the first quote fall ends with a 2 character word, but the word has one
letter on the 4th line and one on the 5th. Puzzle 2 has a hyphenated word in the middle of it. Each word is separated by a
solid block. Each of the Quotefalls are worth 1 point.
