Tips and Tricks

1. The simplest Encrypted Clichés™ to solve are where the Encrypted Cliché™ is made up of word-for-word synonyms from the hidden cliché, such as in our example, where “Refrigerated As A Pickle” was the Encrypted Cliché™ for “Cool As A Cucumber”.
2. Sometimes the Encrypted Cliché™ isn’t made up of word-for-word synonyms of the hidden cliché. These Encrypted Clichés™ are usually trickier to solve. An example is the Encrypted Cliché™ “Truancy Compels Love’s Multiplication,” which signifies the hidden cliché “Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder”.
3. The hidden clichés are often clichés, but catch phrases, idioms, and other popular or well recognized phrases can also be used.
4. To create even more interest, sometimes antonyms, not synonyms, are used when constructing the Encrypted Cliché™. Keep on the lookout for these literary curveballs as they pop-up from time-to-time.
