Decode famous sayings in secret code. Case files, a Daily Cipher, no game over.
Cipher Desk is a classic cryptogram set on a 1940s spy's desk. Under a green banker's lamp, beside an old typewriter and a red wax seal, a famous saying waits on a cream sheet of paper with every letter swapped for a number. Tap a box and every box with the same number lights up; type a letter and it fills them all.
Case files grow from short, simple sayings with half the letters given to long ones with only a few, as you rise from Rookie to Agent, Spymaster and Legend. Every case has three free letter reveals, a pencil mode for classic solvers, and mistakes never end the game: there are no lives and no energy.
Every saying is a well-known proverb or a quote by an author who died more than 70 years ago, checked against the author's Wikiquote page. Each cipher comes from a seed and the saying's SHA-256 seal is printed before your first letter. The Daily Cipher gives everyone the same saying each day, with three daily missions, a streak to keep and desks and wax seals to collect. No forced ads, no purchases.
Solve case after case, ten cases to a file, and rise from Rookie to Agent, Spymaster and Legend. Files start with short, simple sayings and grow longer and harder: on Easy almost half of the letters are given, on Expert fewer than a fifth.
One saying for everyone each day: easiest on Monday, hardest on Saturday. Solve it to grow your streak, and solve it again for a better score.
Every case comes with three free letter reveals. Prefer the classic pencil-and-paper way? Turn on Pencil to write freely and use Check when you are ready. Undo is always free.
There are no lives and no energy. With instant check, a wrong letter simply turns red and lowers your score a little; a right letter locks in. Mistakes never end the game.
Thousands of well-known proverbs and quotes by great writers, thinkers and leaders, all in the public domain: every author died more than 70 years ago, and every quote was checked against the author's Wikiquote page. No modern quotes, no song lyrics. Each case's code comes from a seed, so everyone sees the same cipher, and the saying's SHA-256 seal is printed on the paper before your first letter: the answer never changes to suit you. See it all in "How is it fair?".
Big, clear letter boxes (even bigger if you like), a crisp typewriter font, a calm jazz soundtrack and the soft clack of typewriter keys. Plays offline, no Wi-Fi needed. Sayings in English and Turkish; menus in ten languages.
