A quote, encrypted. Every letter stands for another one. You crack the code - and what you get back is a sentence that was worth the work. SIX LANGUAGES, REAL ORIGINALS English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Nothing is translated: each language has its own body of genuine quotes and proverbs. You can filter by origin as well - British, Irish or American sayings, French, Belgian or Swiss, Spanish or Latin American, Portuguese or Brazilian. Picking a puzzle language is free and independent of the interface language. HOW IT WORKS Tap an encrypted symbol and choose the letter you think is behind it. The guess applies across the whole quote at once, and every matching symbol lights up with it. The frequency strip shows which symbol appears most often - which is how a substitution cipher is actually broken. No timer, no guessing games. A NEW QUOTE EVERY DAY Each language has its own daily puzzle. Every quote you crack shows its author, its source and a short note on what it actually means. Your collection grows with every solved puzzle and can be browsed by author. TOPICS FOR EVERY MOOD Wit and sharp tongues, courage and starting, love and friendship, work and money, falling and carrying on, everyday wisdom - plus easy, medium and hard.
