Home Page  Crypt550 0.5
Crypt550 is a simple program that can help you solve cryptograms, crosswords, and other word puzzles. What it does is returns a list of words that match a pattern. For example, if a cryptogram has the encrypted word such as "fgttw", inputing this word will return all words that match that pattern, including one like "hello". All patterns are typed in as a string into the text field at the top of the window. There are several different things that can be used: 1. Letters The most basic thing is pure letters. For example, typing in "hello" will only return one word, "hello". There is not much to do with just letters. 2. Wild Cards Wild Cards signify that that particular character can be anything. The character used to represent this is a dash ("-"). For example, typing "--" will return all two letter words, while typing "a-" will return all two letter words that start with a, like "an" and "as". 3. Replacing Characters Replacing Characters are used for signiffing patterns, such as those in cryptograms. Numbers ("0" to "9") are used for this. An example would be "0110", where the first and last character are the same, and the two middle characters are also the same (also, the character that "0" represents can't be the same as the one "1" represents). This would return "sees".

Home Page  Cryptogrammer 1.1.2
Cryptogrammer encodes a randomly selected quote into a cryptogram and allows you to solve it on your Mac. You can now enter your own cryptograms in addition to solving computer-generated ones. A cryptogram is a word puzzle in which a quotation, saying, or witticism has been encoded by substituting every letter with another letter. Your job is to figure out which cipher letters represent which plaintext letters to solve the cryptogram. A letter can represent any letter except itself, and no letter represents or is represented by more than one cipher letter in a given cryptogram. In addition, a letter never represents the letter that represents it - that is, if A represents B, B doesn't represent A.

Nonplus is a simple word game based on the Boggle game published by Parker Brothers. The game is played on a 4-by-4 holder with 16 dice. A letter is printed on each side of each die. To begin a game, the holder is shaken so that one side of each die is allowed to settle, and the timer is started. The objective of the game is to find as many words as possible, within the time alloted. A word can be spelled by moving from die to die, orthogonally or diagonally, without hitting the same die twice. Each die can only be used once for a word, but may be used over and over again for each new word.
