Welcome to Cryptograms from Lex.Games! Cryptograms are letter cypher puzzles. Each letter in the puzzle represents another letter. In some puzzles, A might mean F. In others, A might mean D instead. By looking for smaller words, apostrophes, common letter groupings, and the like, you can start to solve the Cryptogram puzzle — and words slowly reveal themselves as you figure out key letters! The quotes you solve might be jokes, they might be inspirational, and they might be moving. And trust me — they're fun! You may optionally choose to highlight mistakes or reveal individual letters in the puzzle, too. There's a fresh daily cryptogram each day, plus a slew of packs filled with cryptograms.
