Ok, here's today's (or some recent day's.. it was sitting on the table) cryptoquote:
ORIU FUZFNFUP QGLJVUK. WG
UGN NILJN NRI JVXVNI OFNR
V PEIVN ZVEFINK GS
BURIVXNRSBX WVFUNFID
-- QVNRIEFUI HIIQRIE
I think the best would to start with would be the second one,
FUZ
FN
FUP. How many words could have the same letter in those places, plus the 2 U's?
I agree, it seems like the #1 thing to do is to find the word with the most repeated letters, like that.
Second step is to take the word that that helps us with the most, and so on. WV
FUNFID would be half solved after solving the second word, and so on.
I can provide a dictionary if somebody else wants to work on a program that can solve this
<edit> Another good starting word might be
BURIV
XNRS
BX..
