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 collection for code-breakers, word-game lovers, and curious minds. Each puzzle hides a memorable quote behind a classical cipher — crack the substitution to 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 at academic cryptography competitions. The formats covered — Aristocrat, Patristocrat, Xenocrypt, Caesar, Affine, Atbash, and keyword variants — are standard at the high-school and collegiate level. The frequency grid, in-puzzle hints, per-cipher stats, and hardware-keyboard support turn solo practice into real timed-event readiness. BUILT FOR SERIOUS SOLVERS • Frequency highlighting — see letter frequencies colour-coded directly on the cipher as you work • Multiple-letter highlighting — instantly spot every occurrence of a letter across the whole puzzle • Error highlighting — catch mistakes the moment you complete a puzzle • Translation tables — slide-to-scroll lookup keys for Atbash, Pigpen, Dancing Men, and Knights Templar; tap a symbol to highlight it across the puzzle • Caesar decoder — a slide-able decoder strip; dial the shift with + / − buttons, line up one letter, and read the rest straight off • Print & Share — export any puzzle as a PDF with configurable options: frequency table, frequencies under each letter, your current guesses, and highlighting • Custom keyboard tuned for fast letter-mapping • Hardware-keyboard support — use a physical keyboard on any device • Cipher reference sheet — a printable PDF guide to all cipher types, in Settings • Adjustable puzzle text size — scale the cipher grid up or down for comfortable reading; applies across every puzzle • Per-cipher progress tracking and stats • Light and dark themes that look great • Works completely offline — no account, no tracking, no ads ACHIEVEMENTS & DAILY STREAK • Daily streak — your current solving streak lives right on the main menu; solve at least one puzzle a day to keep it going • Achievements — unlock badges for total puzzles solved, milestones within each cipher type, and streak lengths • Tap any achievement to see the details and your progress, and share the ones you've earned as a polished gold medallion image BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL • Many packs per cipher type — a free Starter pack plus bundles by category, and a Mega Bundle • Frequency table for K1 and K2 ciphers that updates as you solve • iCloud sync — your progress and stats back up automatically and follow you to a new device, no account needed PRIVACY FIRST No ads, no tracking, no sign-up — and we don't collect your personal data.
