Alrighty, here's a competition for my fellow Arconans!
RULES
What's a cryptoquiz?
Well, its shuffled set of words in-a-given-category where each and every occurrence of a particular letter is substituted with a different letter of the alphabet. For example: "that" might be encoded as "zqtz." It is important to note that letters in the encrypted message will never be the same letter in the decoded message.
How is this competition being run?
Very simple, there will be 5 cryptograms that will be posted 5 times throughout the week. 1 per day for the first 5 days. Do as many as you can as fast as you can. Here's the deal, the 1st submission for each puzzle gets 5pts. The 2nd gets 4pts, the 3rd gets 3pts, etc. If you happen to be the first to submit each puzzle, you'll get 5pts for each of your submission. If you happen to submit 4th for one puzzle and 1st for another and 2nd for the rest, you'll get 2pts, 5pts, and 4ptsx3 respectively.
Winners:
The 3 highest point totals will be declared the winners!
Important Note:
None of the cryptograms will have the exact same letter substitutions.

I'll be posting the puzzles at different time each day to try to give people in different timezones ample opportunity to get the same point totals as others. Assuming this competition is approved by friday, that's when the first set of words will come out!
