Cryptogram · Cryptoquote Game

I have been playing this game for years now and still love it! I find that there's a good mix of easy and difficult puzzles as well as a good mix of modern and historical quotes! The new stats dialog is really fun to track my games. It's nice that I can see my times over time. Very happy to see too that they added an auto advance setting to move to the next open letter! Also pleased to see that we can see the letters that have already been used. I'll be playing Cryptograms for a long time coming. Keep up the good work! Update: It’s great to see the addition of the “More” menu! I like that I can click on another game and it goes right into it. Update 2: It seems like there are a bunch of new quotes in the latest update. Really enjoying some of them and finding a few thought provoking. Some of the longer quotes are easier to solve than the short ones since there are more clues but I think that’s OK. It makes the next game a surprise difficulty! It would be nice to be able to reset your stats. Hopefully an easy change! Thanks again for this great game.

If you are looking for the best, un-ending, free, cryptograms you have found it in this app/game. I was not bothered to write a review but a few times, but I was in the middle of playing so I opted to wait. I went into the App Store to put in this review, bcuz I want people to know how good this game really is. Look no further, I have been playing this app for quite a while and haven’t found one that is even close to as good. In fact the others I played before this one, I went thru all the games in a few days and they had errors. That’s why I kept searching until this game. It is like no other out there and free!! It is great and the best cryptograms I have done. Eventhough I have played it for a long time, I’m still surprised and have to get hints and check if I’m on the right track. Sometime I fly thru the games and others I’m stuck lol. I’m still getting new cryptograms, rarely do I run into a repeat but this is after months of playing and doing many cryptograms daily. I Love This Game/App, Well Done!!

This is the silliest of critiques of this game but here we go. I LOVE this game. Some of them are really hard and take time and effort... and it’s in those moments when I FINALLY solve one that... I wish there was a small moment of... “fanfare”..or “celebration” when you finally solve it.. it just clicks over to the result.. even a second of a pause with a “boom! You did it!”...or even just a pause before the screen changes. It happens so suddenly! A bad example... but like, when you finish a level of Candy Crush.. the screen expose in celebration... haha.. Most the time I don’t even have time to read down the entire thing before it just clicks over to the next screen. And yes while it has the entire solve on the next screen, it’s not as exciting.. it just happens so fast and I rarely get a moment to appreciate the quote and who said it. Other then that I love the game.

I would give this app 5 stars, because I love it and play it all the time, but it has no way to upgrade to an ad-free version. I would pay for this! Also, it would be cool if it could time you and compare you to others who have solved the same puzzle. Also maybe be able to choose level of difficulty and subject of quotes? And a way to share? All things I would pay for. It's a great app, looking forward to the improvements so I can give you 5 stars. Checking in later, still no upgrade available. Come on, guys! ...much later, I am still waiting for the opportunity to upgrade to a paid, ad-free version. Why don't you offer this? Now months later, still want to upgrade to an ad free version

Overall, I love the concept. But, if you previously played CryptoQuote, you will see some obvious shortfalls in Cryptogram. By way of comparison: 1 - the keyboard is too small, which contributes to error and slows down the game. 2- Cryptogram allows the player to assign a letter to itself - not good. 3 - Immediately after you assigned a letter in CryptoQuote and then realized you made an error, you just tapped the original letter on the keyboard and the substitute letter was unassigned. Not so in Cryptogram. 4 - The longer quotes do not fit on the screen, so you have to scroll. This could be solved either by using shorter quotes or reducing the font size for shorter quotes. 5 - the tools could be improved and supplemented with other tools. For example, adding an (optional) letter frequency tool would be great. Also, the ‘Reset’ function should reset the timer as well.
