Cryptogram

About Cryptogram

A free cryptogram game. Every letter of a famous quote or proverb has been swapped for a different letter, and your job is to crack the code. Pick a letter in the puzzle and type your guess: every copy of that cipher letter fills in at once. Use common short words, double letters and the letter-count panel to get a foothold. Choose easy, normal or hard, and use hints if you're stuck. Quotes come from classic literature, history and proverbs.

How to play Cryptogram

1. Each letter in the quote has been replaced by a different letter. The same cipher letter always stands for the same real letter.
2. Tap a letter in the puzzle, then type or tap your guess. Every copy of it fills in.
3. Pink letters mean you've used the same guess for two different cipher letters.
4. Use Check to see which guesses are wrong, Hint to reveal a letter, and Letter counts to spot the common ones.

Tips and strategy

• One-letter words are almost always A or I.
• THE, AND and THAT are the most common short words in English.
• An apostrophe followed by one letter is usually S or T.
