Pennypost Cryptogram

Every letter in the Pennypost holds a famous saying in code. Each letter of the saying was swapped for another one, the same way all through, and the small blue code letter under every blank tells you which blanks belong together. Tap a blank, tap a key, and a right letter fills every matching blank at once. Little by little a proverb or a line from Shakespeare, Franklin, Austen or Twain comes out of hiding, and when the last letter lands the sheet is stamped DELIVERED.

Made for relaxed solving
- Big round typewriter keys, set out A to Z, so every letter is easy to find and easy to hit.
- Clear letters on a ruled letter sheet, with the author shown as a clue.
- A wrong letter is only a slip: it shows for a moment and goes away. No lives, no timer, no game over.
- Some letters are given at the start, more in the first letters and fewer as you go.
- Stuck? The first hint of every letter is free and opens a whole letter for you.

Plenty to read
- More than 850 sayings, all in the public domain: folk proverbs and lines by writers from Aesop to Kipling.
- Numbered letters that never run out, in the same order for everyone.
- Today's letter arrives every morning, with a streak for the days you keep it up.
- Your letter is kept after every key, so you can stop and pick up again whenever you like.

Works offline. The app is free and paid for by ads: a banner at the top of the game screen, well away from the keys, an occasional full-screen ad between letters, and an optional short video when you want an extra hint.
