Exclusively for Cipherbrain readers: solve crypto puzzle, win prize
Exclusively for Cipherbrain readers there is a crypto puzzle with a chance to win today. I would like to take this opportunity to point out another cryptogram.
In April 2021, I blogged about the “Blossom Puzzle” by book author Frank Schwellinger, who offered a reward of 100 euros for the correct solution to this cryptogram. This post was commented more than 100 times, with my readers discussing among different possible solutions. In the end, Cipherbrain readers Anna Salpingidis and Christoph Tenzer were able to split the prize between them. Congratulations!

The “Annagram”
True, there is no rule that says that the winner of a Cipherbrain prize puzzle must provide another puzzle of the same kind. Nevertheless, Anna Salpingidis has thankfully done so. Here is Anna’s cryptogram, an “annagram” so to speak:

Anna Salpingidis writes: “Since it is not at all comparable to the flower puzzle in terms of difficulty, I will not give any starting help, as well as aids. Unless I am asked directly for something.”
Can anyone find out what message is encoded in this “Annagram”? The creator has kindly offered a prize for the first person to do this and post the solution as a comment. The prize is a copy of the detective game “Escape the Room 3 – The Cursed Dollhouse”:

By the way, Anna Salpingidis (35 years old, married and two children) works in the Änasteshiepflege in the hospital. That could be a clue to the solution. Her absolute favorite show is “Criminal Minds”, and Spencer Reid (played by Matthew Gray Gubler) is her favorite in it – no idea if that’s relevant to the puzzle.
The cryptogram on the stamp
I would like to take this opportunity to present another (possible) cryptogram, for whose solution (if it exists), however, there is no prize. Tobias Schrödel (known among other things as a comedy hacker and Stern TV contributor) brought it to my attention. It is a US postage stamp from 1992:

On this stamp you can see a coded text. I have no idea if this has a meaning and if it is decipherable. If this should be the case, I would be pleased about a comment.
If you want to add a comment, you need to add it to the German version here.
