About Cryptogram (English, Puzzlega.me)

Puzzlega.me is a small site of daily browser puzzles, mostly in Japanese, including a crossword, a picture crossword called Collage and a Japanese cryptogram. The English Cryptogram is its English-language edition, with its own numbered daily series: puzzle 307 was the one for 3 October 2026.

Each puzzle is a sentence or quotation in which some letters are shown and the rest are blanks marked with numbers. Every blank with the same number holds the same letter, so a correct guess fills in all matching squares at once. You type with an on-screen keyboard, and the puzzle is cleared when every blank is filled correctly. The page states that you solve the same puzzle as all other players.

There is also an archive of earlier daily puzzles and a section of community-made cryptograms.

It suits fans of newspaper cryptoquotes, word pattern spotters and anyone who enjoys the moment a single guess opens up a whole sentence.
