### 5/5 — Light weight game

*2025-06-15, version 2.8.1*

I just downloaded this game a few days ago. Although this version is relatively easier than the Cryptoquotes, I’m enjoying it very much. My respect to the creator for no ads and for putting in the effort to create this for us to enjoy!

### 5/5 — My fave crypto game!

*2025-03-30, version 2.8.1*

This app has more than other cryptogram apps I tried. Multiple categories, in multiple games. Ads aren’t bad. Although I’d love to pay $1 for no ads at all (including optional ads, which should never be a part of any game apps), with no subscription.  But this is my fave cryptogram game!

### 2/5 — Not worth the money to buy

*2024-03-10, version 2.8.1*

I may revise my review, but after playing the free puzzles I purchased the uppermost tier of puzzles.  So far they are all  puzzles I did in the free mode!  Unless there are some new puzzles soon—this was a bust.

### 3/5 — Simple fun

*2026-07-21, version 2.8.1*

A good little game that is fun to play but makes you think a bit. I picked it up on a daily puzzles mix of games. I enjoyed this one so I downloaded the app so I could play it some more.

### 3/5 — Fun Game but…

*2023-04-12, version 2.8.1*

The game is fun overall but some of the categories are hard or misleading. It just sucks that it feels like some rounds I have to just repeatedly hit hint because I don’t know that topic. I think there’s too many rounds that rely on you knowing specific topics and if you don’t then it’s “sorry you don’t get to have fun playing”

### 3/5 — So much potential!

*2021-07-02, version 2.8.1*

Great game, and no ads! What can I say.

It’s not been updated in a while and there’s so few rounds that you’ll burn through this game in no time. Some of the hints are also very American-centric. I have no idea what your sports teams are called, for example.

Wish this game would be updated. You could have animal categories, food categories, anything….

I am enjoying the cryptos. They are challenging, but not so challenging as to make me give up. Even the easier ones keep me interested.
