The Cryptographer

A handy tool for solving cryptograms...

Step-by-Step Example

The Cryptographer is designed to help solve individual words that are contained in cryptograms.

In order to use The Cryptographer to full advantage, it is recommended that a few letters have already been discovered in the word.

In this example we will decrypt the word “ZCZXVBNMZXSXDF” where the ‘C’ is already known to be ‘A’.

i.e. _ A_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

STEP ONE

· Enter the encrypted word.

· It must be lower-case.

 

STEP TWO

· Enter encrypted letter and its decrypted state.

· For this example we enter the encrypted letter ‘C’ because we know that it is an ‘A’.

· You can continue to add as many as you want or clear the field.

STEP THREE

· Enter any omitted letters.

· This is for if you’ve solved other letters in the cryptogram that you know are not contained in the word in question.

· They must be entered in lower-case.

· You can continue to add as many as you want or clear the field.

· For this example we’ll just leave this field blank.

 

DECRYPT

· You are now ready to decrypt your word

· All possible results will be returned in the box

· Sort through and pick the most logical one

· If too many results are returned try gathering more information about the word.
