Solving Approach
This one works out to about 3.6 letters per word on average. Look for the shortest cipher groups first — they're the quickest way to get a toehold before tackling the longer words. Rated medium, this one asks for a bit more pattern recognition than a warm-up puzzle, but nothing that requires guesswork.
About Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass was an enslaved African American who escaped bondage and became one of the most influential abolitionists and orators of the nineteenth century. Born into slavery in Maryland, he taught himself to read and write before fleeing north to freedom. His powerful speeches and autobiographies exposed slavery's brutal realities and inspired countless people to join the antislavery movement, making him a legendary voice for human rights and equality.
Did you know? Douglass was a close ally of President Abraham Lincoln, meeting with him at the White House to discuss the treatment and enlistment of Black soldiers during the Civil War.
