About this game
IMPORTANT: every puzzle is a GERMAN quote or proverb. You need to read German to play. The app interface is available in English.
A quote, encrypted. Each letter stands for another one. You crack the code – and what is left is a sentence worth reading.
HOW IT WORKS
Tap an encrypted symbol and pick the letter you think is behind it. The assignment applies across the whole quote at once, and every identical symbol lights up with it. The frequency bar shows which symbol occurs most often – which is how a substitution cipher is actually cracked. No timer, no guessing.
A NEW QUOTE EVERY DAY
Goethe, Schiller, Nietzsche, Lichtenberg, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Wilhelm Busch, Heinrich Heine – plus German proverbs and words of wisdom. Every cracked quote shows its author, source and a short explanation of what it means. Your collection grows with each solved puzzle and can be browsed by author.
