The letters of a well known quotation have fallen down and been randomly scrambled. It's your task to solve the puzzle by dragging them back up vertically to their correct positions to figure out what that quotation is. It's obvious when there is only a single letter in a column as there's only one place it can go back up to, but the more letters in a stack the harder you'll have to think as to which letter goes where! It's fun and addictive and each game takes just a few minutes to play. There are 288 puzzles, and even more extra ones to buy as in-app purchases.

About Cryptograms: A cryptogram is an encoded statement that requires a degree of strategy to decode. The cryptograms found in this puzzle game use a 1-to-1 substitution cipher. For example all of the letter N’s in a cryptogram might stand for the letter B in the decoded statement. Aside from letters nothing else in the statement has been changed, e.g. spacing and punctuation. In the case of this puzzle game all statements are quotes from relatively famous to very famous individuals. Using your knowledge of the English language and grammar, see if you can decode the quote! Cryptograms based on quotes are also commonly called cryptoquotes. The cryptoquotes found in this puzzle game are a mix of modern and historical quotes.
