What is a Cryptogram?
A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. In this case, we use a 'Substitution Cipher' where each letter of the alphabet is replaced by a different letter.
How do I solve it?
Look for patterns! Frequent short words like 'THE' or 'A', and common letters like 'E', 'T', or 'A' can help you decode the cipher. Use the blank spaces provided below each letter to write your guesses.
What does the 'Hint' button do?
The hint button will reveal one correct letter mapping (e.g., 'X actually represents E'). This can help you get started if you're stuck on a difficult quote.
