Came across this great quote the other day by a British politician and naturalist who was good friends with Charles Darwin. Can you decipher it?
"DYUS DA BAA JAFAMJB LUKMOH XM DYUS DA OXXV WXN"
[If you can figure this cryptogram out, feel free to enter the original quote in the comments below. Will reveal answers sometime tomorow.Thanks]

Even knowing this I cant figure out the code – toom uch going on here to concentrate properly or is it really that hard?
What we see depends on what we look for…
Correction: What we see depends mainly on what we look for… haha…
I fail to see the connection (besides the letter count in the words) between the crypted message and the solution. Can someone explain a bit in more detail please?

Those are usually the easiest to figure out. Once you get them, take those letters and plug them back into the sentence to see what else you can deduce (again, sometimes 3 & 4 letter words are the easiest to get…
Hope that helps some
Indeed, i have NO experience with cryptograms. Did a bit of research on them to see how to `break` them…didn’t fully understand but I`ll read some more. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
