Solving Approach
This one works out to about 3.1 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 Socrates
Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens around 470 BCE who revolutionized thinking through dialogue and questioning. He is famous for claiming "I know that I know nothing," encouraging people to examine their beliefs critically rather than accept them blindly. Though he wrote nothing himself, his student Plato documented his teachings about virtue, justice, and the pursuit of truth. Socrates was eventually tried for corrupting youth and executed by drinking hemlock in 399 BCE.
Did you know? Socrates never wrote down any of his philosophical teachings, so everything we know about him comes from the writings of others, especially his student Plato.
