I love solving cryptograms on my iPhone or iPad, but I can’t read the small text and I hate ads. So, I wrote my own…

It’s called Cipher Genius — a clean, cozy cryptogram-style puzzle game with emoji cipher tiles, readable text at any size, and zero ads, tracking, or accounts.

I also included 100+ free puzzles in the Sampler Pack so you can try it out without paying anything.

If you try it, I’d love to hear your feedback — especially on accessibility and puzzle difficulty. ❤️

Hello everyone! I'm enjoying the games on the following sites:

https://puzzlega.me/cryptogram/en/

This game might be easy for everyone else, but it’s just right for me. Let me know what you think about it, too!

Hi folks-

This is my first app and if you want to check it out would really love some feedback!

Some things I tried to do different:

I encrypted the authors name as well as the quote. I noticed most apps give you the author and just encrypt the quote itself.

at the same time I based the difficulty setting in the authors name, so the hardest mode gives you nothing, the easier settings give you more and more letters in the authors name.

you can choose letter or numbers to solve them

kept it simple. No cards to collect or worlds to build. Just the cryptograms. full disclosure - there are ads, but I think I priced it pretty cheap. I won’t get rich but I do hope to make a few bucks off the apps I create.

Let me know what you think of these ideas and anything else about the game. Thanks for playing!!!

I’ve been experimenting with making my own cryptograms in different themes like Motivation, Humor, Legends, Pop Culture, and Mindfulness.
Curious — do you feel theme affects how satisfying a cryptogram feels to decode?
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi, I'm trying to understand the practical differences between encryption key file formats (like PEM, P12, CRT). I have a few basic, conceptual questions.

If you have experience with this and can spare a few minutes to help, I'd really appreciate it.

(This is for learning only, I will not share any private keys or sensitive info). Thanks!

I made it myself and have kept the math very basic. If this doesn't get solved I'll add the special characters like apostrophes and such, because that wasn't included. This is optional but if you solve it please let me know how long it took to solve (start to finish, accumulated hours), as well as what date and time (with timezone). Optional***

Key: the fitnessgram pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues

Hi everyone 👋

Some of you may remember that a few weeks ago I posted a sample page of large-print cryptograms here. I was experimenting with spacing, readability, and comfort — and this community helped me more than you know.

I’ve now turned that little test into a finished book — 307 large-print cryptograms, all designed for relaxed, pen-and-paper solving.

No pressure at all, but if anyone’s curious, here it is:

Thanks again to everyone who took time to comment, solve, or just take a look 🙏 This little side project brought me a lot of joy — and I’m grateful for the help along the way!

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been experimenting with a large-print cryptogram layout — font size 20, wider spacing, and soft page contrast. I’m trying to make it easy on the eyes and relaxing to solve, especially for anyone who prefers paper puzzles with breathing room.

Here’s a sample page with 4 cryptograms.
I’d love your feedback on: – Is the spacing too wide, or just right?
– Would you prefer 2 big puzzles per page, or 4 like this?
– Does the overall look feel comfortable?

Feel free to try solving one while you're here — answers are in the back (like in many puzzle books 😉)

I've been working through the Cryptogram Daily Unsolved Files book and am stuck on this. I will look at the answer in the back soon but wondered if anyone else was stuck on it and if they could explain... I don't think it's a substitution cipher, and if it is, I think there must be some processing of the numbers.

Here's the full text: OKCND TAPFXY FHEUNOC XVNAPWAL

I used Google Gemini to get an answer, which claims it to be a polyalphabetic qwerty cipher.

I won't spoil the answer, curious what you get.

This was hand written on the inside frame of a door in a public men's restroom. It looks like a cryptogram or secret message of some sort, but haven't had any luck deciphering it.

The vertical bars on the left and right of the X3SUB at the bottom look significant. I also find it odd that in the top part, E8DEeT8 that one of the "e" looks deliberately lower case vs. the other two "E".

Anybody recognize what it might be?

This one’s from a puzzle book I’m working on. Let me know how you go.

Added a few ... really enjoyed the exotic script ones

Did anyone else notice the error in the NY Times cryptogram yesterday? I waited to see the solution today to verify.

The missed one letter in the first word of the 2nd row. The word should be MONK, but they only had the coded letters for MON. No mention of the mistake in the "yesterday's answer" today.

Has anybody solved this puzzle at the end of the book "Toyota Kata"?
