### 1/5 — Confusing

*2024-12-14, version 4.2.11*

Directions are terrible. They don’t explain what to do with the letters to make words out of them. Glad I didn’t spend any money.

### 5/5 — Great quotes

*2024-11-04, version 4.2.11*

I like this format better than other cryptoquote apps.

### 5/5 — Yea!

*2024-08-15, version 4.2.11*

Blessed absence of ads!

### 5/5 — Enjoyable and Thought Provoking.

*2024-01-28, version 4.2.11*

Great quotes, but I wish after solving them you could re-visit them in a list of completed quotes.

### 1/5 — After the first level they charge you

*2024-01-26, version 4.2.11*

After playing the entire first level, you can’t go any further, unless you pay, which makes me not like this app.

### 5/5 — Easier than Paper

*2023-12-15, version 4.2.10*

These cryptograms are easier to do than are paper ones, because you can easily delete a letter that seems to be wrong.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2023-12-10, version 4.2.11*

I really like my cryptograms, and this site is great. Especially love no ads!!

### 5/5 — Cryptogram

I love these puzzles, there is so much variety and no ads. I’m addicted.
