Decode the News – History Demo

This is an offline game pre-loaded with encrypted historical facts from Wikipedia.

When you solve each cryptogram, links to more information are revealed to be perused at leisure (requires internet – articles are not pre-loaded). Or hit New Game to work on the next puzzle.

Some features:

– Spaces and punctuation are optional (long-click the cryptogram): Choose your own challenge!

– The year for each fact is given as a hint.

– Click the Add button (bottom right) to get more messages encoded with the same substitution alphabet. (More text makes the puzzle easier.)

– The cursor highlights all spaces with the same cypher letter and edits them simultaneously.

– The keyboard indicates which letters have been used (green) or over-used (red).

– Clear all guesses at once or give up and try a new cypher from the Options Menu (upper right corner).

– View your previously solved cyphers in View History (Options Menu).

– No ads or tracking.

– Thousands more cryptograms available in other Decode the News versions!
