This puzzle is interesting, challenging and plain fun. Thank you!
We solve a couple every night. Love cryptograms!
A great app overall. No data collected is a plus and worth the price for a good interface and thousands of phrases. But if you get all the way to the last 25-30-ish phrases, the app crashes at launch. Double-tap of letters happened a little too much (sometimes ruining a perfect game status for the phrase). Otherwise, the app was rock solid and stable.
We love this game ALMOST as much as we love the fact that you do not collect ANY information on your customers! One suggestion or request, please? Can the app show us the percentage of puzzles we have solved without any errors? Or just how many? Im terrible at math but love to try to beat our own records. Thanks for making such a fun game and for respecting our privacy. Will definitely be looking at your apps first every time from now on! Edit 2/26/2022: Not only is this game fun and addicting, its creators are great people, too. They respond almost immediately to an email and are helpful and friendly when they do! Im going to cry when we finish the final puzzle! We hope youll be able to come up with additional quotes before then!
Brilliant, Amazing, Outstanding, Buy it you will love we cant express how much we just love love this game. We will play this game for hours. We like the challenge of solving cryptograms. Our need to find that common denominator in each quote. Our determination to solve it. We are our own worst enemy as we try to beat our own score. We have been playing cryptograms for 30 years and of the many puzzle games we have tried very few come even close to this one. We did play several very cool puzzle games, sent to us our this Developer, but we always return to this game for a mind challenge. We are super fussy about games and we only play certain ones. We just love this Cryptogram, the developers Norman Basham and Black Labs Consulting. They have created an amazing game full of features. Tons of Quotes that will keep you busy for hours. If you get stuck you can just hit the hint button. Or you can solve it all at once. Cryptogram has over 1,900 Quotes, you can customize it with quotes no quotes. You can share it with friends or family. Include the Author or no Author. Hints or no hints. Show incorrect answers. Use dark mode or light mode. Another favorite is we can tag the Quotes we love. You can curtail the game to your liking. After you play all 1,900 quotes contact the Developer they will give you new quotes. One more feature, when you first open the game that clock will not start until you press the first key. This game is beautifully put together. Our favorite is, the elimination of each letter you use to guess your Quote. We have been playing all of Black Labs games for a long time check out all of the games they have, they are all great and fun to play. We highly recommend this game and any game under Black Lab Consulting, you will not be disappointed. If your like us and you like a challenge this game is for you! So have fun!
Plus: So many puzzles that theres always something to do. Minus: Just a we bit too easy.
Open and immediately crashes. The developer website is Facebook and Apple wont let us submit a problem report because apparently it thinks we didnt purchase the app. We’ve used this for at least two years and it was a good program until it stopped working with no way to report a bug unless we want to join Facebook. Yeah, right.
We love this game! Its so relaxing after a very long day! Please keep it updated to todays technology so that when we have to upgrade we can have this on our new devices!! Thank you!!!!
We’ve completed the 1,912 puzzles. Need an update with more.
This has always been one of our favorites until this week. It will not open. We even deleted it and downloaded it again to no avail. It is permanently deleted now.
This is challenging and accurate… Our favorite game. The visual presentation is very confusing, Though.
The app wont work. The only way to reach developers is via Facebook. We dont use Facebook.
We just paid $4.99 for this, it says its downloaded, the icon appears But when we touch on it it just closes back up. WHATS UP?
Paid $4.99 and it wont open on our updated iPad. Go to apps help page and it is a Facebook page.
Fun to play. And you learn things too along the way.
Have had this app for years & appreciate the puzzles recently added. This remains our favorite cryptogram app because the UI is simple to use. We esp like the option to show a wrong entry in red. The only flaw: Occasionally an authors name requires an accented letter ( ) but the keyboard within the app doesnt allow that option. Therefore, completing the puzzle requires using a hint to auto fill with that letters accent, ruining an otherwise perfect score. Life continues; its a good game.
It is a relief from everyday persistent thoughts.
Our wife and we love solving a cryptogram together every morning. Its great to see this app get an updateand what an update! We look forward to our Quote Book growing and growing, and we especially like being able to share the ones we love. Thanks!
Easy to use this app. Can set up to suit your preferences. Phrases are just right! Best app we have. Easy on your battery. Provides hours of enjoyment.
Great game. Good when you want to play for a minute or two.
Will you be updating the above game apps to work with iOS 11.?? For iPads. These games are amazingly brain teasing and fun. We look forward to a positive reply. Thank you for your help sandee.
Challenging, well designed, and executes smoothly.
As always this game is exceptional. Please add harder and longer quotes for us to solve. Thank you so much for a great game.
Fabulous, fun, fast and sooo easy on the eyes. Beautiful graphics and captivating, can hardly put it down. Great APP !
Works very well on the iPad. We enjoy the quotes.
We have been solving cryptograms for a long time. We have two other cryptogram apps, but this one is our favorite. We are impressed at how easy it is to use. If your eyesight makes reading difficult, the colored background might make the text hard to read. Although we like the way the layout looks.
Recommend this game and color sudoku…
We have always loved doing these puzzles. So fun & more convenient that having to sharpen your pencil & don’t have to erase!
Awesome game…. Very addicting.
This is the best Cryptogram game we’ve come across. I’d tried several but, this one is by far the best!
We have a lot of fun solving these cryptogram puzzles. The quotes are more appealing to us than the themed subjects. But hey, that’s just us.
This is a solid game. Really no flaws that we can think of. Great way to pass a few minutes.
Really enjoy playing this game. Very addictive!
Such a great app. Well designed and so much fun!
This game lets you play privately — no logging onto Facebook, etc. For us this is plain old relaxing fun. We love it.
Very good game. Easy to play and scoring and timer add to fun. Different challenge levels hold interest for all.
We really enjoy this challenging game (and all the quotes used are good ones!).
We love this app! So far they offer just the right amount of a challenge and gradually increase in difficulty. We really like the quotes… Some humorous, some philosophical and some just common sense. When the author is named, sometimes it’s a surprise. Another plus is being able to compare your performance to others. It’s definitely worth the minimal cost of new puzzles. We highly recommend this app.
If you like cryptograms, just get it. If you don’t like cryptograms, get it anyway and you’ll learn to like ’em. The interface is beautifully and brilliantly done both aesthetically and functionally. The variety of puzzles and the choices of difficulty levels insure you’ll have tons of puzzles to do whatever your skill level. Pretty much a perfect app and more than worth the price. Highly recommend.
A great way to exercise your brain. Addictive too.
Before we would buy books so we could do these puzzles. We like this a lot more then the books and we though the books were great,
Wonderful. Highly recommend educational and entertaining. Multi leveled from easy up. Lots of puzzles.
