It's pretty straight forward. Decode the message, each letter is consistently-(always) replaced-(maybe) by a different letter in the alphabet.

And don't forget the spoilers!

-This puzzle is what I call a level - 4

Which means that this puzzle is - A various length quote. There is a vowel that has been completely removed from the quote below. It is up to you to figure out what that vowel is, and where in the words that vowel is missing. The name of the author has also been removed, and will be revealed once the puzzle is solved.

Would like to try this very much . BTW I would take much longer and right now I am quite tight . Brandon, Please post special editions on weekends, that would attract more people like me.

What do you mean "Special editions?"

[grey cells]

What do you mean "Special editions?"

I dunno , just slipped out. Maybe 2 or 3 packed in a single topic? Of course , I understand they are difficult to compose , just a suggestion.

grey cells: Brandonb clearly has the words of wisdom on lockdown, but I was planning on releasing a set of 6 encrypted movie quotes each weekend which would qualify as the 'special edition' you seem to be looking for.

here's the first one if you missed it

and the second

i'll post #3 tomorrow

Seeing as my grey cells have not been used for a long time... and I lost half of them in giving birth to my children...

I really would appreciate some help in how you solved this one. Just to maybe get me started and warm those cells back into life!

Thanks - if anyone can do that for me... I really would appreciate it.

:D :D

Itachi , how could I miss yours ? It's just that, I have been a bit tight , what with Mafia and College work, that I couldn't spend more time in our beloved Puzzles section. And especially one needs to put in a lot of effort and concentration on these cryptograms, that's why I asked for the Special Edition. BTW , I was late on both of your topics , but still tried Lvl X for fun and couldn't get it . Well there's always a next time .

[Brandonb]

Yeah, I was just getting ready to suggest Itachi's quotes as the special editions that you requested. I assumed that his might be just on weekends, though he has now confirmed it which is cool. Sorry I didn't post #19 yesterday, I'll have one up today in a few hours. BTW, thanks Itachi, as I'm sure you can tell I'm asking for the letters that only appear once in the quote (or are as difficult to decipher as possible without knowing the rest of the letters in the word possessing said letter(s)).

Glad to see that more people are getting into these, always nice to see new interest, it's encouraging for me. Thanks everyone!
