Cryptl
Decode the day's hidden quote by working out which letters go where.
Every day: One hidden quote a day, the same for every player, taken from a dated list in the game, with streaks and best times kept in your stats. New puzzle: Midnight in your local time zone.
Cryptl is Quizl's daily cryptogram. Each day hides a quote or saying from a well-known person, and you fill in the missing letters using patterns in the words and what you have already worked out. You can reveal a letter when stuck, and your stats track streaks, times and hints used.
About Cryptl
Cryptl is a daily cryptogram on Quizl, a site of small daily puzzles. Each day hides one quote or saying, the same for everyone, written out as a code: every letter has been swapped for another, and the same swap runs through the whole quote.
You crack it by filling in letters. When you decide that a coded letter stands for, say, an E, every copy of that coded letter becomes E, so patterns like single-letter words, double letters and common endings give you a way in. If you get stuck you can reveal a letter, though your stats note how many hints you used.
The game keeps streaks and your best times, and the quote is drawn from a dated list so everyone decodes the same one on the same day. A How to Play screen explains the rules before you start.
It suits anyone who enjoys word patterns and the slow reveal of a cryptogram, in a quick daily that rewards spotting common letters.
How to play Cryptl
- Press Start Game on the day's Cryptl.
- Look at the coded quote, where each letter stands for a different one.
- Choose a substitution; every copy of that coded letter changes at once.
- Use short words, repeated letters and common patterns to work out the rest.
- Reveal a letter if you are stuck, and finish by decoding the whole quote.
Tips
- Start with one-letter words: in English they are almost always A or I.
- Look for apostrophes: the letter after one is often T, S, D or RE.
- Common short words like THE and AND repeat often, so matching their letter patterns unlocks a lot at once.
