Break the code!

I thought I'd begin a thread for code breaking (as I specially enjoy doing them in times of stress)

So, here goes.

Can you break:

Quote:
vgzs zqd xnt fnhmf sn cn snczx
For a hint,

'on air'
converts to
'nm zhq'

I'd expect it gets very easy now.

Your clue is too complete, "what are you going to do today".

Re: Break the code!

Naturally, the first code is supposed to be ultrasimple.

Now try

snevo nepo ni taem neerg

This is also very simple.

Re: Break the code!

encrypting A -> H, hence decrypting H -> A, but like english there are exceptions to the rule.

I made this cypher up and it will be very hard to break - Im not sure if I want to give the answer up at all, but if you solve it I will tell you if its correct. hence this could be potentially frustrating
