Puzzle: NAANQETUCEX HNVR UNE GUNSG; CE AQVRVUER CERVJO DWVU XNT MVZE HNDU EWV HNNQ. – GXJV SWZUHJVQ
Answer:
OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT KNOCK; IT PRESENTS ITSELF WHEN YOU BEAT DOWN THE DOOR. – KYLE CHANDLER
Step 1: Identify Short Words
Starting with short words:
- “UNE” could be “NOT.”
- “CE” could be “IT.”
- “XNT” could be “YOU.”
- “HNDU” could be “DOWN.”
Step 2: Make Initial Guesses
Let’s replace “UNE” with “NOT,” “CE” with “IT,” “XNT” with “YOU,” and “HNDU” with “DOWN”:
- U = N
- N = O
- E = T
- C = I
- X = Y
- H = D
- D = W
Step 3: Fill in the Puzzle Using the Guesses
Using these letter mappings:
- NAANQETUCEX = OPPORTUNITY (N = O, A = P, Q = R, E = T, C = I, X = Y)
- HNVR = DOES (H = D, N = O, V = E, R = S)
- UNE = NOT
- GUNSG = KNOCK (G = K, U = N, N = O, S = C, G = K)
- CE AQVRVUER = IT PRESENTS (C = I, E = T, A = P, Q = R, V = E, R = S, U = N)
- CERVJO = ITSELF (C = I, E = T, R = S, V = E, J = L, O = F)
- DWVU = WHEN (D = W, W = H, V = E, U = N)
- XNT = YOU
- MVZE = BEAT (M = B, V = E, Z = A, E = T)
- HNDU = DOWN (H = D, N = O, D = W, U = N)
- EWV = THE (E = T, W = H, V = E)
- HNNQ = DOOR (H = D, N = O, Q = R)
So the first part of the quote is: OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT KNOCK; IT PRESENTS ITSELF WHEN YOU BEAT DOWN THE DOOR.
Step 4: Decode the Author’s Name
GXJV SWZUHJVQ = KYLE CHANDLER (G = K, X = Y, J = L, V = E, S = C, W = H, Z = A, U = N, H = D, Q = R)
