Fourth of July Cryptoquote - Free Printable

1. Identify the hint: M = E. This means the letter 'M' in the cipher text corresponds to the letter 'E' in the original quote.
2. Analyze the cipher text for common words and patterns. For example, look for short words like "BP" or "JM" which might correspond to common English words like "IT" or "ON".
3. Use frequency analysis: In English, common letters are E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, L, U. The most frequent letter in the cipher text is 'M', which likely corresponds to 'E'.
4. Substitute known letters and look for recognizable words. For instance, if 'M' = 'E', then "BPM" might be "THE" (a very common word), suggesting 'B' = 'T' and 'P' = 'H'.
5. Continue this process, testing hypotheses and filling in the alphabet substitution table as you go.
6. Once enough letters are decoded, the full quote becomes apparent.

The decoded quote is:
"IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH. THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT. DO WHAT YOU CAN, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE. BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD."
