Players deduce the cipher one letter at a time, watching the rest of the quote update across the board as guesses propagate.OriginsCryptograms! was originally designed as a tool for teachers to generate novel and entertaining classroom materials, then expanded with on-screen play modules so students and home users could solve puzzles directly on the Mac.The Country Road SuiteThe program belongs to a small family of word-puzzle titles by Mark Jordan, all built around quotations: Cryptograms!, Anacrostics!, and Droplines!.DistributionDistributed through Country Road Software (entrypoints.com) and mirrored on Info-Mac as cryptograms.hqx.
