Do you enjoy doing word puzzles? If the answer is yes and you would like to participate in some word puzzles then you might like to try doing cryptograms. A cryptogram is a puzzle in which a short piece of text is encrypted with a simple substitution cipher. These puzzles are then solved by working out which letters need to be swapped to form a legible sentence, name or phrase. These puzzles originally were used for more serious applications, but are now used simply as fun puzzles that can be found in newspapers, magazines and online. If you would like to try testing your brain out with a few cryptograms then you might like to take a look at a web site at the address of www.cryptograms.org. This web site contains an amazing number of more than eighteen thousand cryptograms, the site offers explains cryptograms and how you can go about solving the puzzles on offer.
