Here's another clue that isn't quite as general.
Try not to start a war over this crypto, but if you insist on it, this word is the place to do it. B)

BATTLEFIELD.

Your first clue really was too foggy. A battlefield isn't quite a "generic historic or present day location".

You got it. B)

I was trying to avoid the problem we have been having so far in the game of the clues giving away the answer (as my second clue basically did). I agree though, it was pretty vague. In a cryptogram, I always thought of the clue to be a vague lead in the direction to take the puzzle, not a direct path towards the answer. Then again, most crytograms give the players more than one word to work with to solve it, too. :P:

I really think a cypto game needs longer cryptograms. A single word just doesn't let the player work out the missing letters. A phrase or sentence would be much more appropriate. This game is more like hangman than cryptograms. :P:

I suggest two-or-more-word puzzles in the future.

I want to say "Bob Barker" but the letters in the second word suggest that isn't it. I do think it's "Bob" something though...not sure who though... :slap
