Cryptogram hands you a famous quote scrambled by a substitution cipher, where every letter has been swapped for another. Crack the code by spotting common letter patterns and short words until the original saying is fully revealed.
How to play Cryptogram
- Read the encoded quote where each letter stands for a different one
- Guess a common short word like 'the' or 'and' to anchor a few letters
- Type your letter guesses to fill matching symbols across the whole puzzle
- Adjust mismatched letters until the quote reads correctly
Tips & strategy
- Start with one and two-letter words, which are almost always 'a', 'I', 'the', or 'of'
- Look for apostrophes that usually signal 's', 't', or 'd' endings
- Use letter frequency: 'E', 'T', and 'A' appear most often in English
Controls: Click a letter and type to assign substitutions; tap on touchscreens.
