Quiptics
-
Version
3.0
Real cryptograms on your Windows computer. All the
challenge and enjoyment of solving
cryptograms exactly like the ones found in newspapers
or
magazines. Make your own cryptograms instantly. Just
type in a favorite quotation and
click a button. Quiptics encodes the text
automatically. You can print out Quiptics
cryptograms to give to others to solve. Quiptics adds
a few new wrinkles to this
enormously entertaining and popular word game. To
begin with, Quiptics puzzles have
two difficulty levels. Normal mode presents encrypted
text in the traditional format--
alphabetic letter substitution at random. Expert mode
adds the actual inter-word spaces
into the encryption mix. In Expert Mode, a space may
not actually be a space. Each
Quiptics puzzle, therefore, incorporates two
distinctly separate cryptograms--a Normal
puzzle and an Expert puzzle. Each puzzle can be solved
on its own. Quiptics puzzles also
come with optional "hints." Each puzzle can have from
zero to ten hints. Hints are very
broad- ranging in topic, but usually offer a bit of
help to get you started decrypting a
particularly ornery puzzle. Finally, because Quiptics
are meant to be solved on the
computer, they can be quite a bit longer.
