Puzzle: ZGAP MOLN OW IOLOMNJ, WG JGU’M TYWMN OM IOBOUK WGLNGUN NIWN’W IORN. – WMNBN XGFW

Answer:

YOUR TIME IS LIMITED, SO DON’T WASTE IT LIVING SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE. – STEVE JOBS

Step 1: Identify Short Words

Let’s identify and make guesses for common short words:

• “OW” could be “IS.”
• “WG” could be “SO.”
• “OM” could be “IT.”
• “JGU’M” could be “DON’T.”

Step 2: Make Initial Guesses

Let’s replace “OW” with “IS,” “WG” with “SO,” “OM” with “IT,” and “JGU’M” with “DON’T”:

• O = I
• W = S
• G = O
• J = D
• U = N
• M = T

Step 3: Fill in the Puzzle Using the Guesses

Using these letter mappings:

• ZGAP = YOUR (Z = Y, G = O, A = U, P = R)
• MOLN = TIME (M = T, O = I, L = M, N = E)
• OW = IS (O = I, W = S)
• IOLOMNJ = LIMITED (I = L, O = I, L = M, M = T, N = E, J = D)
• WG = SO (W = S, G = O)
• JGU’M = DON’T (J = D, G = O, U = N, M = T)
• TYWMN = WASTE (T = W, Y = A, W = S, M = T, N = E)
• OM = IT (O = I, M = T)
• IOBOUK = LIVING (I = L, O = I, B = V, U = N, K = G)
• WGLNGUN = SOMEONE (W = S, G = O, L = M, N = E, U = N)
• NIWN’W = ELSE’S (N = E, I = L, W = S)
• IORN = LIFE (I = L, O = I, R = F, N = E)

Step 4: Decode the Author’s Name

WMNBN XGFW = STEVE JOBS (W = S, M = T, N = E, B = V, X = J, G = O, F = B)
