I got this idea while solving a puzzle in the newspaper.

Basically, it's a coded word game.  I shall put up a word, but it shall be in code.  The first person to guess the word correctly first, gets to go next.

Now, let me set a few ground rules for this game.

1: The coded word must be at least 7 letters long.

2: One letter must stand for another.  No symbols, save for those that normally show up in the word, are allowed.

3: Only 1 letter shall be revealed as the hint to what the word is.

4: Only 1 written out clue as to what the word is will be given.

Now, since I'm sure everyone understands the rules.  Let's begin Crypto!

The word in code:

CKYLXZJF

L = O

Clue: This race roamed the earth for millions of years.

Good luck to all! :^.^:

Ahh yes, I've seen this game before.  I'll give it a shot!  I'll let you confirm my answer first though. :p

You are correct.  The word was DINOSAUR.

It's your turn, action9000. :)

I would guess "SCATERBRAIN" though I think you're missing a letter.

I only see now it says "electronic" children and not "eccentric" children.  :lol:  I'm not playing this game as soon as I roll out of bed anymore.
