I love doing cryptograms...but in English for me please. My wife doesn't get how I work them, but there are a few tricks I've learned along the way.

Can't post a link because the puzzle was in a newspaper, not online --- sorry Tyn.

I'll try to explain it, though I know a lot will be lost in the explanation. The New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle always has a theme, and sometimes the theme is that a particular word, rather than a single letter, occupies some of the squares. For example, "star gaze" might cross with "north star" the word "star" being in one square.

This week, the title of the puzzle was "energy crunch" and the word was "erg." So "ev[erg]reen tree" crossed with "horizontal m[erg]er" and "polt[erg]eist crossed with "moth[er g]oose" and so on and so on.

Fate was telling me to stop reading the paper and start racking up some Holiday Challenge meters :roll:

Love the theme puzzles. Merl Reagle is a favorite. Wish I had seen the NYT's this past weekend. :x
