Free cryptogram generator FAQ
Is this cryptogram generator really free?
Yes. No account, no credit card and no watermark across the puzzles — just a small source line at the bottom of each page.
Can I make a cryptogram from my own quote?
Yes. Choose My own text and type up to 4 texts of 25 letters or more, one per line. Each becomes a cryptogram with its own key.
Does every cryptogram have only one solution?
Yes. A built-in solver checks each puzzle against a dictionary. When a text could be read in more than one way, the generator reveals another letter until only one reading is left.
Can I print the cryptograms for my class or family?
Yes. The free PDFs are for personal and classroom use: print as many copies as you like.
Can I sell these puzzles or publish them on Amazon KDP?
Not the free ones — they are for personal and classroom use only. For books you sell, create a cryptogram book in Wisdom Effect: books generated on paid plans and with credit packs come with a full commercial license.
Are there cryptograms for kids?
Yes. Choose For kids: a shift code with the key printed at the top, big letter boxes and a key strip to note the letters.
