About

Decryptly

Read full description

Every letter of the alphabet hides behind a number. Your job? Crack the cipher and reveal the hidden quote. Decryptly is a fresh take on the classic cryptogram puzzle. Each level gives you an encoded quote โ€” every Aโ€“Z letter is secretly mapped to a number from 1 to 26. Use logic, pattern recognition, and a few helpful starting hints to decode the message, one letter at a time. How to play: Look for the highlighted starting letters already revealed in each puzzle. Use them as your foothold, then work outward to uncover the full quote. The more you decode, the more the picture comes together. Two difficulty modes: Easy โ€” when a starting hint is revealed, every occurrence of that letter lights up across the puzzle Hard โ€” only the single hinted position is revealed; you'll have to earn the rest Stay sharp โ€” you only get 3 mistakes Each wrong guess costs you a life. Run out and it's game over, so think before you tap. Curated quote collections: Puzzles are organized into themed groups. Complete every level in a group to unlock the next. With dozens of quotes across multiple categories, there's always a new challenge waiting. Features: Clean, distraction-free interface Unlimited puzzle groups with themed quote collections Two difficulty modes for beginners and veterans alike Letter tracking keyboard shows which letters you've placed Progress saved automatically โ€” pick up right where you left off No internet required โ€” play anywhere, anytime Whether you're a word puzzle veteran or a newcomer to cryptograms, Decryptly will sharpen your mind and reward your curiosity โ€” one decoded letter at a time.
