CipherdayHow to print them
Tap Print all five. The sheet has all five puzzles with a writing line above every code letter, and the answer key starts on a new page, so you can hand out the puzzles and keep the answers. Tick Large print first for bigger letters and fewer puzzles to a page. To keep a copy, choose "Save as PDF" in the print window.
Prefer to solve on screen? The puzzle above plays like the printed one, and the numbers above the board switch between all five.
A first move for puzzle 2
Puzzle 2 repeats the three-letter code word VPD, and the four-letter JYNM sits right before it. Try YOU and WITH: that is seven letters in two guesses.
Questions people ask
Are these printable cryptograms free?

Do they come with answers?
Yes. The answers print on a separate page, and you can also open them below.
Is there a large-print version?
