is a Windows version of the popular cryptogram puzzles often found in puzzle books or the Sunday paper.
Crypto! selects a quote or phrase from its library of fifty, encrypts it, and presents it for you to solve. Solving cryptograms is more fun because Crypto! makes it easy to try various letters and undo mistakes. Letter frequencies are provided, and there are various hints and helps to get you started quickly. Crypto! comes with complete on-line help. When you register, you will get over 10,000 quotes and phrases for years of solving fun.
Crypto! selects a quote or phrase and encrypts it by scrambling the letters (for example, A stands for M, B stands for H, etc.) To solve the cryptogram, you have to figure out what the letters stand for. On the right you will see a list of the letters that haven't yet been used, a table showing the letter frequencies in the puzzle, and the number of hints used and time elapsed so far. You can also print puzzles, if you so choose.
