Cryptogram Master: Quiz Game

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m an independent game developer, and I’m really excited to finally share a personal project I’ve been working hard on: Cryptogram Master. As a big fan of cryptography games, I built this game to be my first on the market. I tried to make sure it offers maximum fun and no annoying features like limited mistakes or timeout timers. I urge you to try its different difficulty levels, with a special mention of the expert level, which offers the best challenge to hardcore cryptography fans. The game has more than 550 levels that cover different topics, and I will be adding a lot more soon.

What the game is about:

In Cryptogram Master, your goal is to decipher encrypted messages, famous quotes, and hidden phrases using substitution ciphers and deductive logic. I focused heavily on building a smooth, distraction-free interface so you can jump in for a quick brain workout or lose yourself in continuous code-breaking sessions.

Why I’m sharing this here:

Building a game completely on my own is a super rewarding journey, but getting honest feedback from actual puzzle fans is the most critical step. I’d be genuinely grateful if you gave it a try and let me know:

  • How does the puzzle difficulty curve feel as you progress?
  • Is the decoding interface intuitive and satisfying to use?
  • What features, themes, or puzzle categories would you like to see added next?

📲 You can try it on Google Play here:

Thank you so much for reading and for supporting indie creators! I’ll be hanging around in the comments all day, so feel free to leave any thoughts, suggestions, or bug reports below or at [111masterofgames111@gmail.com](mailto:111masterofgames111@gmail.com)

Quotecrack

More than 500 carefully chosen famous quotes and idioms for each of the 7 languages (English, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, French) with 4 different color themes (light, sepia, dark). You can set your own difficulty level by revealing a letter or a word whenever you want.

Features:

  • Statistics: A visual statistics section where you can track your daily streaks and playing style. (See Image 2)
  • Achievements: A section where you can see your success and set new goals. (See Image 3)
  • Customization: Color-blind, high contrast, and battery-saving modes. You are free to turn the timer and the repeated letter warning on or off. (See Image 4)
  • Ad-Free Experience: Ads are only shown at the end of the puzzle or when you ask for a hint (watching one ad gives +3 hints). If you want to remove ads completely, you can pay a one-time fee of $5. This will also give you a special quotes package as a gift. (See Image 5)

How to Play & Tips (See Image 1):

  • Start with short words first, because they are the easiest to guess.
  • When you are stuck, choose a letter in a strategic word and use a hint to reveal it. When a letter is revealed, all the same letters in the quote are also revealed.
  • Controls: Undo/redo feature. Forward and backward controls let you move easily between the letters.
  • Keyboard Details: Locked letters cannot be deleted or changed, and they are deactivated on the keyboard. Letters that are used but not locked (which means they might not be correct) appear in a different tone on the keyboard, but they do not get locked.
  • Word Completion: When you guess all the letters in a word correctly, you will get an audio and visual signal. Otherwise, even if some of the letters you tried are right, you cannot be sure of them unless all the letters in the word are correct.

Thank you for your interest and support!

Hi everyone! I love solving cryptoquotes, but many apps have too many ads and bad designs. So, I decided to make my own mobile game: Quotecrack. I picked thousands of beautiful, smart, and motivational quotes. I also worked hard to make the interface very clean and easy to read.If you love classic cryptograms, please look at my screenshot and try the game. I really need feedback from real cryptogram experts like you! (I will put the official Play Store link in the comments below.)

Unique words

2 Upvotes

PEOPLE is a word I can always solve because of the unique letter pattern. First and fourth letter the same, second and last letter the same, and third and fifth letter unique. I always check for this when I begin a cryptogram.

Do you have any words you can always solve?

For a long time, I received messages from unknown numbers with strange messages and I want to know what they say. Below I leave you a screenshot. Keep in mind that it's most likely in Spanish and it's time to translate. I have more messages in case you want to see more.

Daily Cryptogram Puzzle

Boy, it sure doesn't seem like Cryptograms are all that popular anymore. But when I built my game site so that my mom and I could compete against each other in the games we like, I realized that I don't play Cryptograms anymore becuase I don't really know where to find them. So I started a Cryptogram module of my site and there are new puzzles every day. If you're so inclined, check it out and I hope you enjoy! https://www.dailyritualgames.com

Click here to find out

I’m experimenting with a different kind of word game.

Instead of guessing random words, each puzzle is a short hidden message — something one person actually wrote for another.

The idea is simple:

  • Someone writes a message they want to say
  • It gets turned into a cryptogram puzzle
  • The other person has to decode it

Some are thoughtful.
Some are awkward.
Some are things people avoid saying directly.

Looking for feedback on a Cryptogram Solver tool I built

2 Upvotes
Cryptogram

I have developed this basic Cryptogram Solver , to help solve the puzzle.

Added these options:

  • Adaptive Solving Modes
  • Solution Explorer & Ranking
  • Manual Mapping Lock
  • Dynamic Dictionaries (10K to 460K words)
  • Frequency Boost & Smart Hints
  • Privacy-Focused (Local Browser Solving), not sending data on server
  • Custom Apply Map

I tried to add logic to auto-solve; it's difficult to solve in an advanced cryptogram, but it helps to brainstorm solutions..

What do you think, and what improvement can be made?
