Cryptogram Puzzles & Ciphers

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Crack Aristocrats, Patristocrats, Xenocrypt, Caesar, Pigpen, and the Dancing Men. Hundreds of cipher puzzles - solve quotes sharpen your mind, repeat. Cipher Munch is a hand-crafted cryptogram puzzle collection for code-breakers, word-game lovers, and curious minds. Each puzzle hides a memorable quote behind a classical cipher — your job is to crack the substitution and reveal the words. WHAT YOU'LL SOLVE • Aristocrats — classic letter-substitution cryptograms with spaces preserved • Aristocrat K1 & K2 — keyword ciphers with a scrambled alphabet • Patristocrats K1 & K2 — letters regrouped into 5-letter blocks, no word boundaries • Caesar — the cipher Julius Caesar wrote with • Affine & Atbash — number-based and mirror substitutions • Xenocrypt — Spanish-language aristocrats (27-letter alphabet, with the Ñ) • Visual ciphers — Pigpen, the Dancing Men from Sherlock Holmes, and the Knights Templar cipher EVERY PUZZLE IS A REAL QUOTE Thousands of quotes from writers, scientists, philosophers, and statesmen — Mark Twain, Marie Curie, Maya Angelou, Aristotle, and many more. PERFECT FOR COMPETITION PRACTICE Cipher Munch is purpose-built for the classical-cipher events that anchor academic cryptography competitions. The cipher types covered — Aristocrat, Patristocrat, Xenocrypt, Caesar, Affine, Atbash, and keyword variants — are standard formats tested at the high-school and collegiate level across a wide range of STEM competitions and academic cipher challenges. The frequency grid, in-puzzle hints, per-cipher stats, and hardware-keyboard support turn solo practice into something that actually translates to timed events.
