About Cryptograms: Secret Text
Cryptograms: Secret Text hands you a quote in code. Some of its letters are hidden and others have to be guessed, and your job is to work through the message letter by letter until the full phrase reads correctly again. Each correct letter gives you more to work from, so the meaning slowly comes into focus as the puzzle goes on.
Before you start, you pick a theme to suit your mood: motivation and literature, movies and TV shows, love and relationships, or wisdom and philosophy. Levels within a theme are played one by one. Mistakes are tracked, so careless guessing is discouraged, and when a phrase has you stuck you can call on hints such as the lightbulb and search options. Completing levels earns coins, and those coins pay for further hints, which keeps a steady supply of help available for the toughest quotes.

How to play Cryptograms: Secret Text
Objective
Restore each encrypted phrase by working out its hidden letters, keeping your mistakes low and using hints sparingly, then continue through the levels of your chosen theme.
Getting started
- Choose a theme that matches your mood, such as wisdom and philosophy or movies and TV shows.
- Study the coded phrase and the letters that are already shown before you guess anything.
- Fill in hidden letters one at a time, starting with short words where only a few options make sense.
- Keep an eye on your mistake count and reveal letters carefully rather than guessing at random.
- Use a hint, like the lightbulb or search option, if you get stuck, then finish the phrase to earn coins.
Tips
- Mistakes are tracked, so check that a letter makes sense in every word around it before committing to it.
- The theme is a clue in itself: a phrase from the movies and TV shows set will lean on different words than one about love and relationships.
- Coins come from completing levels and pay for hints, so finish easier phrases without help to bank coins for the hard ones.
- Save the lightbulb and search hints for the moments you are truly stuck, when one revealed letter is worth more than another guess.
