I love cryptograms❣️

I’ve always solved them in newspapers , books or copied from internet. I’ve never solved a cryptogram like this. It is a fun and easy way to work them. Glad I found this app!

Fun game

I love cryptograms but I hadn’t done them for some time. Then I ran across a pack of printed cryptograms that I had printed out a long time ago to take with me when I fly. This was before the popularity of iPhones. I thought, “ I bet there’s an app for that.” And I found your game.
After I went through the free puzzles, I bought the app at a very reasonable price. I’m continuing to enjoy it very much. And I don’t have to carry around loads of printed ones!

I love the format. It makes working it very easy!

Just like the ones in our local paper. I absolutely love doing those but these are so much easier because you don’t have to erase so much!!

Love this app.

I am good at solving cryptograms, but some of these were a challenge. I feel like I am doing something to stimulate my brain. I like that I can take as little or as much time as I want to solve them. Highly recommend the app.

Fantastic Fun

No commercials - first pack is free and then only 99 cents for additional big packs - good for hours of solving
