Inspiration
I have always loved doing cryptograms, I was going to add in some game involving spies or something but making the cryptogram UI took longer than expected, I'm pretty happy with the result tho :)
Directions
You have to solve the cryptogram by selecting letters from a drop down list. You only get 30 moves, you also get 3 hints.

This was a lot of fun, I love puzzle games. The only issue I had was when you pulled down the letters to guess, they didn't appear and maybe that was to make the game more mysterious, but occasionally I would click on the wrong letter and made the game a little frustrating since it took one of my guesses away. Other than that it was a lot of fun. Thanks for adding that punctuation counts in the guess area. Good luck! (I was on the team for Museum of Natural Mystery)
This was fun! I needed more time for the first puzzle though :). You could pace the difficulty by either providing more time in the first few levels or making the messages smaller.
It looks fun but I got the same bug as others. Still, rated it as if it worked, nice job.
The interface was very clean, but the first puzzle was really difficult, and at times it was very difficult to parse when a word ended and the next began, which made solving frustrating as I approached the end. I'd love to see more with that difficulty curve smoothed out a bit!
Thanks that is something I could definitely improve.
I hit the same issue as Willem, where the drop down was empty, so very confusing to get going. And then the first puzzle was very long. I would have loved to have seen an easier to get started smaller first puzzle. Very nice looking interface!
ya that issue came up when I changed the font, but I think I fixed it with the last update. And actually for cryptograms shorter puzzles are harder.
Glad you got it fixed! That is super interesting, regarding the shorter puzzle being harder. Again nice work!
I got a score of -1060. Nailed it.
Great job! Glad you finished that is an accomplishment in itself! :D Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoyed :)
haha thanks. It really is quite interesting! I think you need more tutorialization and I ran into a bug where the text under the cypher dropdowns was invisible (or same color as dropdown?) but made it work.
Ya the size for the text box wasn't big enough after I changed fonts I think I fixed it tho..
