YCNTJDGBKBYTSCVR you can't judge a book by its cover
BSNCMKSTHHRTGRWFNDR absence makes the heart grow fonder
anyway, there's one left I can't get....

The key is trying to isolate possible words and then seeing what you can fit with the rest of it. To me it looks like the opening word could well be 'start' or 'street' and the last could be 'stuff' or 'stiff'*
Remember that words like 'A' or 'I' could be missing completely. This could well change the sentence.
*blurred disclaimer - possibly none of these are correct

Last two words could be 'best off'? Or 'is best off' for the last 3?

thanks for the attempts..
I was trying to isolate the last word....
could be toffee, off, stiff, staff, stuff, fee, foe - but I can't think of any well known sayings ending an any of those words. Anythig that fits might help, though - becasue it might get one of the words that will then spark the answer.
so - (genuinely!) - thanks!
(and keep at it... please!)

PS - Montreal - star toon sues toffee - best yet!

it certainly fits - and it certainly makes the most sense so far (apart from "Start nose stiff") - but is it a well-known saying?
"strut your stuff" - and I'd have been hanging out the bunting....
"strut one's stuff" - and I'm tempted to hold out for another suggestion!!
you do get the best-so-far prize, though - which is a (virtual) round of applause and a (muffled) "Huzzah!"
