How to play Cipher

A phrase has been encrypted by replacing every letter with another. Click a coded letter and type what you think it stands for — every copy of that letter updates at once, so each guess ripples through the whole message. Use common words and letter patterns to crack it, fast.

Cipher — frequently asked questions

Is the cipher consistent?

Yes — it’s a simple substitution, so each letter always maps to the same one throughout the phrase.

Any tips?

Start with one- and two-letter words and common endings; short words and repeated letters give the cipher away.
