    I think you should look for recurring patterns of letters. In English, certain letters, like 'e,' 't,' 'a,' and 'o,' are more common than others. Identify repeated symbols and try to match them with common letters.

        Get to know patterns. XYZX is usually "THAT". If not, try "ELSE" or "SAYS", those are not quite as common as "THAT".

        A repeated occurrence of XYZ in the text is going to be either "THE" or "YOU".

        If you see a single letter after an apostrophe, it is usually "T" or "S". Two different letters after an apostrophe are going to be either "VE" or "RE", and a double letter after an apostrophe is "LL"

        Hope this helps.

                I was once at 7th but didn't do it for a while as my season ended. I am back at it for next season though. Good luck

                  Yes I definitely agree Just memorize basic patterns and work on it for just a short period daily. Consistency matters

                    When I first started with cryptograms, I found focusing on common letter patterns like "TH" and "HE" really helpful. I also tried to guess common short words—things like "THE" or "AND." It takes practice, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away.
