About this tool

This generator turns a quotation or your own text into a cryptogram — a letter-substitution puzzle where one cipher alphabet stands for the whole plaintext — with an easy rotation mode, a full random substitution and a harder derangement that avoids letter-to-letter and common-letter-pair giveaways. You solve it in the page with shared letter cells, hints, mistake checking, a real frequency chart and PNG, print and answer-key exports. Everything — cipher generation, analysis and export — runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
