  • I love it!

    They literally have the entirety of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz on here, broken down into little puzzles. And that’s only one of the stories. This is honestly just great.
  • Love cryptograms

    So glad to be able to have cryptograms to solve on my phone. Thanks :-)
  • Love this game!

    I love the concept of this cryptogram game! Decoding a whole story keeps the interest so much longer. It just challenging enough that you’re not discouraged if you hit rough spot. Totally addicted!! There’s so many stories to decode it’s practically limitless!! Please keep updating with new stories! Update: I don’t usually pay for games but this time I did! Willing to support a great game! $1.99 to remove the ads? Totally worth it!!

  • Relaxing

    I played the game a few years ago and I am enjoying playing a second time through. I’m interested in paying to remove ads but I would like to know how much you are charging before I am asked to put in my Apple password.
  • Love

    Re: Immature stories - there is one or two, but I liked them and I’m old ;-)

    Space bar Tip - tapping on the space bar takes you to the next letter. This is different than the advance to next letter option because you can hit the space bar multiple times to get to an empty space (or wherever). Yes, I skipped the help section.

    Love the fresh idea of solving a story. Am having fun and need to spend more time solving and less time reviewing ;-)

    I agree with others that the curser should jump to the next empty spot. Get a bit tired of moving my thumb a full two inches to click the next blank. Lazy, but still! Now SOLVED, kind of - use space bar.

    Developer is very responsive. Thanks!

  • Needs more mature taste in literature

    An excellent idea with a couple of flaws, both related to the choice of texts. The first is that unless there are some peculiar features in a passage, they’re rarely difficult to solve—pull out A and I, and then look for a likely THE. Then, since you already know the general subject of the passage, the solution is usually pretty obvious. But I can see how some people would find this a virtue—it can be relaxing to knock off a series of easy puzzles. The second flaw relates to the developer’s taste in literature. The selections aren’t bad, exactly, but they’re all the sort of stories that appeal particularly to teenage boys. I find myself groaning (and often skipping to the next one) as soon as I recognize the text, usually on the first page. Selections chosen by someone with more mature literary taste would be very welcome.

  • Horrible

    Cool concept but by the second ones it gets way to hard without using a ton of hints and there are way to many adds. There are better cryptogram apps out there on the Apple store.
  • Great, but could use some tweaking

    I enjoy this game a lot, but wish I didn’t have to leave it to see what time it is.
  • Great game!

    Love playing this, but we need more LONG stories please!
  • Brain-Pleasing

    Practically unlimited puzzles, intriguing and mysterious stories, well-crafted interface. The classical music is a nice touch. Also works offline, which is a huge bonus for airplane or subway rides. Love this app.
