Cryptogram Assistant

This is a JavaScript 1.2 implementation of a letter-pair replacement solver, also known as a substitution cipher. This is the kind of puzzle where A is N, B is O, C is P, etc. It can also be called a cryptoquip or a cryptogram in the local newspaper.

To use it, you just define a "key" and the letters in the upper part will be translated and shown in the lower part. This is only a tool to help you out – it can not automatically solve the puzzle for you.

In a related vein, you can check out the ROT13 encoder which swaps letters from the first half of the alphabet with the second half (and vice versa), or the Caesar cipher where you essentialy "slide" the alphabet over to the left or right.

Quickly swap two letters by typing them in here: or reset the letters to A-Z or Z-A.

Result:

Keyed Caesar alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
Or a decode alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789

Many years ago, workers would carry their tools in a burlap bag, which was left at the job site until the work was done. Should they be fired, they would get their bag and leave. This was how the phrase "got the sack" started. Tyler Akins <>
