Whatto! Pepys...
Yesterday I received this letter from an admiring fan who obviously knows how much I love puzzles.
I know that it contains a secret message but I haven't been able to work it out yet.
I believe it's probably Anangrams...
...you know...
...where the letters are rearranged to create a new word?
Sometimes the new words contain an uncany reference to the first word...
...like these examples...
Dormitory = Dirty Room
Desperation = A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code = Here come Dots
Slot Machines = Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity = Is No Amity
Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler
Snooze Alarms = Alas! No More Z's
Alec Guinness = Genuine Class
Semolina = Is No Meal
The Public Art Galleries = Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point = I'm a Dot in Place
Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one
Contradiction = Accord not in it
Astronomer = Moon Starer
Princess Diana = End Is A Car Spin
Now I really should get back to decyphering this message...
I would call my friend who is particularly good at these...
...but I can't seem to find my phone...
Tallyho!
