Cryptogram Game Hints

First we have some tips for the game itself.

• If you play on a smaller screen device then you can visit the settings by tapping the Gear icon and increase the font size. This can make it easier to see the numbers / symbols below the missing letters.
• If you find a letter that is marked in green on the keyboard then you can also find the matching number on other places in the quote, fill these in to help you find more words.
• If you need more lives you can tap the heart icon and watch a advert to get one.

Cryptogram Hints and Tips

These are a collection of useful strategies and techniques for solving crytopgrams, many of these are based around the rules of the English language.

• Fill in the known letters

  When you start and as you discover new letters, fill in the matching spaces (same number / symbol) to clear that letter. This will help give you clues for other words in the text.

• Letter Patterns

  Pay attention to single letters in the text. Commonly these will be A or I.

  Look for other small words. The most common 3 letter word is 'The' but there are others of course. Consider the most likely 2 letter words for the context of the sentence you have. These will generally contain 1 vowel and 1 consonant.

  Look for double letters, or repeating letters in a word (2 of the same number or symbol). These can give you more clues to the letters and the whole word they are in.

• Punctuation

  If the puzzle contains apostrophes, then these can also help to identify the word, I'M is common But it could also be I'D. An apostrophe before the last letter could be a plural 'S or the end of CAN'T, DON'T etc.

• Longer text means more clues

  Make sure to scroll down to read all of the long text items. It can seem confusing but there may be letter clues unlocked to full in and more clues to find.

• Practice

  As with many puzzles, practice is a big help. The more cryptograms you solve the better you will get at spotting the clues and hints.

We hope these tips will help you get through the Cryptograms in this game. If you have any questions about the game please check the Answers Page for more help or to ask your question.
