Cryptogram Cryptoquip Puzzles Examine App

Great quotes

I like this format better than other cryptoquote apps.

Yea!

Blessed absence of ads!

After the first level they charge you

After playing the entire first level, you can’t go any further, unless you pay, which makes me not like this app.

Easier than Paper

These cryptograms are easier to do than are paper ones, because you can easily delete a letter that seems to be wrong.

Love this

I really like my cryptograms, and this site is great. Especially love no ads!!

Cryptogram

I love these puzzles, there is so much variety and no ads. I’m addicted.

Rate

Am totally enjoying every puzzle.

Challenging and Fun!

Cryptograms is a recent purchase of mine. I am a puzzle nut and recently have turned to cryptograms. This app is easy to use, intuitive, and challenging. I will probably use it as long as there are new puzzles to solve.

This is a delightful pastime!

I’ve always enjoyed crypt-quotes but never thought about doing on my tablet until recently. I’m so glad I found this site; lots of fun and challenging.

Why🤷‍♀️???

I’m wondering why you charge a fee to play the game 😡! I love Cryptograms and I don’t make a lot of money! So they’re other sites that don’t charge anything! So I will give them my business!!! Very “BAD” business for your company!!! VERY BAD”!!!

Too expensive

I bid you farewell with sadness. I do one puzzle a day as part of my regime of mental exercise. I’ve done all the packs except the unlimited and I won’t pay $60/year for my daily puzzles. I’ll have to look elsewhere for my daily crypto. (I would pay $30 though.)

Wonderful!

No ads! It also feels good that I don’t need to feel guilty for asking for help on the cryptograms since I’m new to it and struggle more. I really enjoy this app and will probably purchase the extra packages to help the creator and since I enjoy it so much

Let me just buy access to the puzzles

Subscription-based service for this is utter nonsense

Nice Interfaces, great pricing model

Very intuitive and easy to use interface. All puzzle games should use this pricing model. No ads, no monthly fee. Only pay for what you use, when you use it.

Easy to use!

i really enjoyed this app and did the first 100 in a couple of days. Insider tip—there is an undo arrow. Use it! I didn’t notice it until about Puzzle 85. would have saved me a lot of time! 😂 i always read about the person whose quotation i had just solved. i wish the link to Wikipedia took you to their article, but it doesn’t. it’s just a landing place with no way out. That’s my only negative comment about this app. i really am glad i downloaded it and am seriously considering paying for more. Well done, folks!!! 👏👏👏

Cryptograms

I’m very happy to find this app so I can continue to do cryptograms, a favorite pastime of mine. The app works beautifully with no ads.

An underappreciated gem

(I say that because when you search on Cryptogram or Cryptograms on the App Store it’s barely in the top 10, whereas it deserves to be #1. That was on my iPhone; on my iPad it’s even worse - it’s barely in the top 20.) So I wrote a glowing review on this two years ago, and I wanted to edit it because I noticed a mistake but due to a bug in the App Store I couldn’t do so without deleting it so now I am re-creating, with a few edits. Unfortunately I failed to print the nice response from the developer so I can’t re-create that part. FROM THE ORIGINAL REVIEW: I haven’t tried a lot of cryptogram games on my tablet, but of the ones I have this is by far the best. It’s got a clean, intuitive interface, several difficulty levels, no ads, and they give you quite a lot of puzzles for free. (Once you exhaust those you can buy large puzzle packs for a very reasonable fee, or you can do a monthly subscription which is also very reasonably priced.) I am also impressed with the selection of quotes - there’s a lot of variety, and the ones I’ve done so far have been very well-chosen – I’ve never had that feeling I sometimes have doing cryptograms or acrostics where after finishing it I think “Why did they bother making a puzzle out of this quote?” END OF ORIGINAL REVIEW (In the original review I also asked where they got the expert times because generally I couldn’t begin to touch them, but now that I’ve been doing it for a while I’ve actually gotten quite a lot better, to where I’m beating the experts about 50% of the time.)

Awesome game

I love this game but I wish it didn’t clear the puzzles when you switch between them

Great Format

Perfect way to get hooked for free and be given the opportunity to continue for a small fee.

Interesting

I like this game because it requires thought, and I like to challenge my brain. It also is fun because I enjoy selecting the author and learning about her or him afterward.

Easy to use and fun

Great app and well built. easy to use and relaxing

Wonderful game and no ads!!!

This is the only game on my phone because i refuse other games who have adds and continually change my ‘ no sound’ settings. The quotes are awesome. Nice that they are in three levels and easy to see and use.

Challenging with great quotes

Much better quotes than other apps I’ve tried as a little reward for solving these puzzles. Nice and challenging with stats and difficulty levels. Great to try beating the “expert” times- which are tough enough I still get excited when I do. Love the info on the source of the quotations.

Best game

Finally a game for adults. I have done crypto’s for years so nice to have one I can take with me and enjoy at my leisure

well-made, good puzzles, love the lack of ads!

I love this app! It’s very straightforward puzzle-solving, no bells and whistles, as many hints as you want, and I haven’t encountered any bugs or hiccups! You get 100 puzzles free with no ads, and after that it’s a very reasonable $2 each for more packs. I’m about to buy a second pack, and figured I should leave a review :)

Great fun

I am an addict. So I love doing your cryptograms. Walt the addict

Great app!

I thought that solving cryptograms was only for smart people. But I kept at it and finally solved some on my own. Easy ones but you have to start somewhere. Now I can’t stop! Your EggHead app is smooth as silk. So easy to use. And I also enjoy the quote author bios. Keep up the great work!

At first I was irritated

At first I was irritated because the cryptoquip from our local paper starts us out with one letter and this one starts you out with ZERO letters. However, I kept coming back to it and I solved a puzzle, then another and another with no hints and I felt a great level of satisfaction. You get a large number free, and can then purchase more sets for just a couple of dollars each. Also has a link to more cool information if you want to follow up after you solve a puzzle. Well done. Thanks!

Well Done!

I happen to enjoy this type of puzzle. Many are not well designed. This one is exceptionally good. Nice features and a huge assortment of subjects. On the negative, I despise the use of a timer timer. As I said, I enjoy these puzzles, but could do without that constant pressure to solve the quickly. To me that takes away a lot of the pleasure of this kind of mental exercise.

no fun

JUst that simople... No Fun

Best Cryptogram game I’ve ever played

Challenging enough to be fun, but not so hard as to be frustrating. Also, the information on the authors makes it more fun.

Thank You!!!

I love your Logic Puzzle apps and was so happy to see you had an app for these! It was super intuitive to use, I like how it auto fills the letters while showing the ones that have and haven’t been used. The quote author bio is a nice feature at the end too, I remember always wondering “who is that person?” when I did these as a kid in newspapers and putting the little blurb at the end eliminates me from being tempted to get lost on Wikipedia instead of doing the puzzles to unwind & relax to get ready for bed. It’s perfect, and just wanted to leave a review and say Thank you!

Engaging

An enjoyable game with the added reward of learning stuff along the way. I like that it compares your time with “expert time” and also the wiki-link after for interesting biographical info.

Finally!

Finally, a challenging, but do-able, cryptogram app that is ad free! There’s a ton of puzzles in the first volume and very reasonably priced volumes available when you complete the first one. I appreciate the time put into this app. I also appreciate that the creator isn’t super greedy like others. Which, just makes apps cost prohibitive in my opinion. It’s very well organized and has various categories to choose from. It also has a nice color scheme. Great job dev!

Fun but ...

It’s a good game but it is a shame to have to buy the second and subsequent volumes of quotes

Quality Game!

Best app available. Customer service is the best! I sent an email about small issue never expecting a reply, but I received a quick, friendly response and resolution!

Great for SO

If you are in “codebusters” in SO, you need this app, otherwise, it is good fun too.

Great Game!

I love working to solve these puzzles. The developer is friendly and responds quickly to questions.

Love this no frills app

I really enjoy this app because it is so straightforward. I like solving cryptogams; this app makes it easy to do just that without bells and whistles and fake rewards and pitches for upgrades. Very responsive customer service, too.

Great app. Hours of thoughtful productive thinking.

I love this app. It helps me keep sharp as age robs me of memory and analytical thinking. Newest release does not include short biographies of the quoted. It seems a fun but intellectual app should included a little perk of who the author was. Please put it back in!

Good app

Good app and easy to use but there’s only 1 free pack. I wish there were more free ones.

Fun

Fun game! These used to be a pain to play in the old days of paper and erasers, ha! This is a great app. My only wish is that there was a “clear errors” button too. Free hints are always awesome, thanks! 👍🏼 Changed my mind on not liking that you can’t save a game in progress. If you switch to another quote, progress is erased. But, they are short, and now it seems like a fresh start may be better. It’s not like they’re too long!

Fun!

Boxes are easy to see. Brings me back to the days of playing these in the newspaper! Has many levels of difficulty as well as a lot of different themes.

Love these

Fun app, interesting quotes. Not too hard and not too eAsy. You can get a hint (or 2-3..)if you want.

Say What?

I love this game, it's predecessor was one of the first games I bought for my old 1st gen iPod. Some updates have been good, some not so much. Not so much, as I've not played recently, I don't know for sure which update did this, but you can no longer browse through the puzzles in a level? It's taken a ***** game down to ***. Ick.

Great

One of my favorite games.

Easy to use and good degree of difficulty

Solid!

Best cryptogram app I've played!

I really love cryptogram puzzles and this is the best app I've tried. While others are a bit cumbersome and confusing to play, this app provides a very clean interface. There is a good range of puzzle difficulty. I had an issue after downloading one of the volumes, and after sending an email, I received a prompt reply and the issue was resolved very quickly! Awesome developer, awesome game! I highly recommend!!

Entertaining

I recently found this app and I find it very entertaining. It is easy to play and I love the instant feedback on how quickly you have solved the puzzles.
