This is an offline game pre-loaded with over a thousand encrypted historical tidings, large and small, from around the world.

When you solve each cryptogram, links to more information are revealed to be perused at leisure (requires internet –articles are not pre-loaded). Or hit New Game to work on the next puzzle.

Some features:

• Spaces and punctuation are optional (long-click the cryptogram): Choose your own challenge!
• The year for each fact is given as a hint.
• Click the Add button (bottom right) to get more messages encoded in the same substitution alphabet. (More text makes the puzzle easier.)
• The cursor highlights all spaces with the same cypher letter and edits them simultaneously.
• The keyboard indicates which letters have been used (green) or over-used (red).
• Clear all guesses at once or give up and try a new cypher from the Options Menu (upper right corner).
• View your previously solved cyphers in View History (Options Menu).
• No ads or tracking.
