Really? That must be because there's a LC high score table, then.

Look at frequency of letters eg: The letter that appears most frequently probably represents an E
Then from there I solved the three letter words and filled in other words as I went. (putting it on a spreadsheet helps)[/quote]
I'm really late, but just wanted to put this out as FYI: They're called "cryptograms." If you don't have spreadsheet stuff, you can solve them by going into a word-editing program like Notepad and using the Find/Replace option with "Match case" turned on.
For instance:
GJX BNOM ESIIYVYOP FDJPF NVY JO PGY XGYYD JI YTCSPYBYOP?
Replace "G" with "h" for
hJX BNOM ESIIYVYOP FDJPF NVY JO PhY XhYYD JI YTCSPYBYOP?
then Replace "J" with "o" for
hoX BNOM ESIIYVYOP FDoPF NVY oO PhY XhYYD oI YTCSPYBYOP?
then Replace "X" with "w" for
how BNOM ESIIYVYOP FDoPF NVY oO PhY whYYD oI YTCSPYBYOP?
and so forth. It takes some practice to get good at it, but using trial and error, you can whittle down what the letters probably are.
