Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Cryptogram is a fully accessible Cryptogram game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Cryptogram comes with 5 assorted Cryptogram quotes by famous people - categories include age, change, computers, being cool and education - and the game is entirely controlled through gestures. It doesn't require voice-over but is fully compatible with voice-over. The Cryptogram puzzle board is not visible; instead, you play by listening. Flick left and right to move one letter at a time, and hear the encrypted letter. Swipe with 2 fingers to move one word left, or one word right. Swipe up to hear the entire encrypted puzzle, and your solution. You can enter your solution for each letter three different ways- using a Bluetooth keypad, using the alphabet at the bottom of the screen, or using a popup keypad. The popup keypad also provides buttons for getting hints, and a frequency table. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken.

Tips and Strategy You can understand how Brailliance plays kind of like a blind Wordle. However, you will quickly run into some major differences. Remember the following as you play: a. Always look for how many braille dots you need. Swap letters based on the dots, unlike in Wordle where you just swap letters to form similar words. b. Just start typing! Don't worry about being accurate at first. You will get a feel for the dots as you play. c. Don't be afraid to use grayed-out letters! Especially if it helps you remove possibilities from the board. d. There is no penalty for being wrong. Keep trying! Themis Games is dedicated to the production of disability-friendly games.
