Love codewords

Me too. Do you prefer using letters or numbers?

This is intriguing Jenny. Is the person who solves the code responsible for setting the next puzzle? If so - Come on Suze.

No way, Kirk. I prefer solving them

The key is to first work out which are the vowels. Give them a go, they are fun

Good idea Kirk. Yes please Suze, your turn.

Ok just this once let me find a quote, then I will numberise it.

A Quote, a nice easy one to solve

3, 10, 12, 25 / 2, 16, 10, 21, 11

Okay Suze I'm usually ace at codewords, but I've been working on this for awhile now and still no nearer solving it. Can I ask, is the quote in question form?

It's a quote from a well known US Author, His name is in the quote at the end.

Clue: Mississippi might help in working out who the Author is.

3, 10, 12, 25 / 2, 16, 10, 21, 11

Finally I did it.

'Get your facts first and then you can distort them as you please' Mark Twain.

All being well I'll post a new codeword tomorrow.

It doesn't make sense because if the person is Mark Twain, then the "3" is M. But one of the words also begins with a "3" yet the quote you posted doesn't have a word beginning with M.

I prefer the way you have done it Jenny, with the numbers, though that's the only way I have seen them. I like something to tax my brain a bit, I bought a logic puzzle book only a couple of days ago, I love those also.
