• Muchas gracias for giving me something to do at work as I wait for lunch time. I spent 15 minutes googling for an online substitution cypher breaker, then gave up and did it the old-fashioned way.
  I cannot claim l33tness as I peeked at the hint. However, after setting up a supa queeny spreadsheet to hold the possible combinations, I was able to do it relatively quickly.

• I'm dumb. I got it all to work except one word and I can't figure out what I missed up... That makes me crabby.

• I figured it out without looking at any clues, but there was a mistake in the cryptoquip. In the first four-letter word, the "Q" should be an "O".
  
  These things are usually puns, and you'd be amazed at how many start out the same way. They also tend to use a lot of the same words in puzzle after puzzle. If you do them a lot, you can figure them out pretty quickly.
