COUNT BACK FROM THE GATE
Every letter has been swapped for another one, and the same swap is used all the way through. Letter shapes stay put — word lengths and spacing are still real clues. This one is Caesar Shift. The key: shift 3. Every letter has slid 3 places down the alphabet. Slide them back. Take the first letter, F, and walk it back 3 places: it lands on C. Do that to every letter and the message reads C O U… The answer was COUNT BACK FROM THE GATE.
