About the game

How Cryptogram works,
in short.

  1. Step 01

    Every letter stands in for another.

    A famous quote has been scrambled with one fixed substitution: the same cipher letter always hides the same real letter. The small letter under each slot is the coded letter; the empty slot above it is where your guess goes.

  2. Step 02
    WB
    X
    S

    Tap a slot, then type the real letter.

    Select a slot (it highlights blue) and press a letter — or tap the on-screen keys. Every slot sharing that cipher letter fills with the same guess at once, so one good guess can crack several words.

  3. Step 03
    WB

    Each real letter comes from one code letter.

    Two slots can never decode to the same real letter — if a guess repeats one you used elsewhere, both turn red so you can fix it. When the whole quote reads true, you have solved it.
