Tips and hints:
1. Look for small words.

2. Look for double letters, such as well, week, book, etc. Pay attention to those as not many letters are doubled usually.

4. I will give you 3 letters to start out with.

The letter E in the code is the letter G when decoded.

The letter P in the code is the letter E when decoded.

The letter D in the code is the letter W when decoded.

5. Keep an eye out for 3 letter words. Generally speaking (although not always) the words and, the, and you are usually poplar in these. And if you paid attention to hint 3 you will know the word you will have 2 vowels when coded as well Wink
