【實用解謎app】Enigma - Cryptograms|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Dust off your old decoder ring and sharpen your code breaking skills.

Solve cryptograms with Enigma using patterns, letter frequencies, and common sense as you attempt to break the code.

There are over 2,000 puzzles included with more coming in future updates. (I'm typing as fast as I can...)

A Trial Version is available too.

What is a cryptogram?

A cryptogram is a block of text that has been encrypted using a "substitution cipher". In a substitution cipher, each letter is replaced with a different one.

For example:

All letters A are changed to the letter Q.

All letters B are changed to the letter R.

etc.

This mapping of letters is different for each game.

Using patterns, letter frequencies, and common sense you attempt to determine the letter for which each of the encrypted letters stands.

Application Features

The application provides several features to help you if you get stuck.

- On-Screen Navigation - Use the on-screen directional arrows to move around. Helpful if you don't have a d-pad or trackball.

- Pressing Space or Delete will clear the current letter.

- Save Game - You can save your game and come back to it if you need a break.

- Show/Hide Source - The source of the quote/text block is hidden by default. This hint will expose the source for you and hide it again to open up more screen space.

- Show Letter - When you really get stuck, this will expose the letter of your choice in the cryptogram.

- Show Puzzle - When all hope is lost, this will show you the answer to the puzzle you've been working on.

- Letter Frequency Table - Shows you the number of times a coded letter appears in the text.

- Used Letters - Shows in the keyboard display which letters are used and still available.

- Showing Duplicates - Duplicate letters are shown as italicized. So, if you enter the same letter for two different codes, Enigma will show all occurrences of that entered letter italicized.

- If you complete the puzzle without using the "Show Puzzle" option, you will be given the opportunity to email the quote to yourself or someone else.
