What is Decrypto?
Decrypto : A fast and automated cryptogram solver
In depth
A closer look at Decrypto
The Decrypto application was designed to be a free program for solving cryptoquips (also known as simple substitution ciphers). It is completely automated and extremely fast. Decrypto offers both dictionary and statistical attacks. In a dictionary attack, it tries to match up words in the dictionary against words in the puzzle. This means it can solve any puzzle that consists of words found in the dictionary, but it also employs techniques to deal with the occasional non-dictionary word. The statistical attack is effective on a broad range of puzzles, and can produce a solution even if the word boundaries are not known (i.e., spaces have been removed from the puzzle.)
