Cryptogram Round

Sitting here with strep throat so I downloaded a few games to pass the time.. I have always likes cryptic games and they were the first ones I started with when playing the big book of variety with paper and pencil...and I was sad when I completed them all!.. I have been entertained for hours working these puzzles and the quotes make you think..or chuckle at times...when you figure out all of the letters!..I haven’t put it down..or switched to anything else!.. it is nice to not have to fill out all the blanks when you figure out a letter placement..and I like when the letter turns red when I don’t have the right letter in the right blank. Thanks for keeping me entertained ..and keeping me from having to run out to the store in the snow..I can sit here and enjoy the puzzles and recover!

I’ve played through level 53 now, and really enjoy this cryptogram more than any others I’ve tried. For the most part it has really good quotes - some are very thought provoking, some a bit humorous. I also enjoy the level of challenge, and think the design of the user interface is very well done. It’s easy to use, has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The graphics are simple and very enjoyable (I like space and Labradors lol) My only complaint is that while I love the different colors for different levels, I play this in bed to wind down at night and have trouble seeing the highlighted letters on the yellow levels when my screen is dimmed. Not sure there’s anything the developer can do to fix that though. Thank you for a very enjoyable game!

Overall this game is a wonderful way to spend time, learn famous historical quotes and beckmes addictive after only a level or two. I bought all the levels and am having a blast! I only wish there was a way to put the quotes into a list as you complete the levels. Many are particularly relevant to discussions and/or useful when teaching classes. Please correct level 24 puzzle 6 as the quote by J. Christopher Herold is incorrect. It is “those who mistake their good luck for their merit are inevitably bound for disaster.”

I like playing this cryptogram game with no help at all as far as hints. It makes it more challenging. Just go to the Menu in the game to check the default and change it to your taste. Of course, sometimes we all need a hint....that is built into the keyboard on the screen. Have I used that? I’ll let you guess! One thing I’d like to see is to be able to go back and see your SOLVED puzzles instead of seeing them as if you’d never done anything to them at all. I like looking back at quotations sometimes.

This cryptogram app has several helpful features that enables both novice and longtime crypto puzzle person. One can have letter hints and wrong letter indicator. When a blank spot is highlighted all spots of the same letter are highlighted so one can see frequency and locations of the letter. If you need to exit your work is saved. Once solved, one finds an interesting and/or funny quote revealed. Great app when looking to fill some time but too busy to devote long periods of time.
