Scrambler (CLOSED)

It has been a long time since the last contest and even longer since the last puzzle contest. This time it was a puzzle in two stages. First of all you had to descramble 11 Mary Black song titles. Then you had to place these descrambled song titles in the puzzlebox so that they fit. The gray column (from top to bottom) gave you another song title from Mary's repetoire . This song title was the solution for this contest. You can find the answers to the contest here.

The Puzzle

To give you an example of how to descramble the song titles, the scrambled text "IPQV BFPSE" is unscrambled "MARY BLACK". Each letter is replaced by the another letter within the whole sentence. In this example, all 'A'-s have been replaced by a 'P'. You will have to descramble each song title separately (each one is scrambled in a different way). Behind each scrambled song title one hint is given (in the example the hint could have been P=A indicating that all P's must be replaced by an A). Also make use of the separation in words and take a look at the list of song titles here on the website.

 

These are the eleven scrambled song titles:

  1. DAIOVAUS (O=H)
  2. ZPTY ZMZEQA (M=I)
  3. DNHFKJ SXBQF (X=H)
  4. FM KDHLJ JXJDW (D=I)
  5. KCBEIR NSJIHE (E=D)
  6. XGJGZOSO DOYEFO (J=P)
  7. DGJB QGY EYLWTJA (A=D)
  8. CAW INMW XZN MZKVM (A=H)
  9. YBW B CSOOCD LUBWDU (D=E)
  10. TRR UITU ITEESJXGK (S=E)
  11. PC ZGRD XCU ODDN ZX NCFD (N=L)

Descramble the above song titles and place them in the puzzlebox below.
The gray column gives another song title which is the solution for this contest.
