Easy Cryptograms
Easy cryptograms are designed for beginners and casual solvers. These puzzles feature longer quote lengths, clear single-letter words (A and I), frequent apostrophes and contractions, and pre-populated anchor clues to give you immediate traction.
Spot Single-Letter Words
Standalone 1-letter words in English are almost always "A" or "I". Test both candidates in other words to see which makes sense.
Decode Apostrophe Patterns
Examine punctuation! A single letter following an apostrophe is typically 'T (don't), 'S (it's), or 'D (I'd). Two letters are almost always 'RE, 'VE, or 'LL.
Leverage Anchor Clues
Our easy puzzles provide starting letter mappings. Watch for these letters across the entire quote to reveal high-frequency root words.
