Our Expert Score

82/100

Playsimple Cryptogram is a fantastic digital adaptation of the classic word substitution puzzle. For those who love decoding secret messages and famous quotes, this app offers a clean and highly functional interface that makes the process a breeze. The 'keyboard' layout is intuitive, and the way it highlights all instances of a letter makes it easy to spot patterns and test out theories without getting frustrated.

What I liked most was the curated selection of quotes. They range from historical wisdom to modern humor, ensuring that the 'reward' for solving a puzzle is actually worth the effort. The game also offers various 'hint' levels, from revealing a single letter to checking your current progress for errors, which helps keep the momentum going if you get stuck on a particularly difficult cipher. It's a brain-teaser that feels genuinely rewarding and intellectually stimulating.

Good game
Fri Feb 20 2026 DigitalDogg

The game has been great to play to help keep my mind sharp. But this new stuff, using symbols, takes away from the enjoyment of the game. Why not make that a separate game so people who enjoy that can have it all the time and those of us who don’t, aren’t bothered by it?

Change name to AD-INFINITUM
Tue Feb 17 2026 CandyGirl56

Change the name to Ad-Infinitum, because that is what you are giving us. Even in the middle of clearing a board, up pops an ad outta nowhere. It completely kills the flow of this type of game. I had thought I might have found a game to relax and enjoy. The concept is awesome, the quotes uncovered are brilliant and uplifting, but I would rather gouge my eyeballs out with a dirty, rusty nail than to deal with any more of these ads. I think most of us would rather pay an upfront fee to buy the game outright than to have to deal with these endless and disruptive ads. I am uninstalling as soon as i finish this review. I’ve had enough. It’s really to bad because I was honestly enjoying the game. 💔🤯🥺

Frustrated
Thu Jun 26 2025 PICOBOY BIRDY

I enjoy solving these puzzles, however, whenever ever I use one heart to revive, it erases all of my progress on the puzzle. And that is not what the icon shows when you press on it. It’s frustrating. I thought this was a one time happening, but now it has happened more than once. If you cannot use a heart to revive without losing the puzzle, what is the purpose of having hearts? UPDATE: I still enjoy solving these puzzles, however, a one minute ad for a wrong guess on a letter is really excessive! I will not yet delete but if it continues, I will be deleting it. I really hope the developer reads these reviews and reacts to them..

Ads even after purchase!
Wed Feb 18 2026 Slvrbtl

I like this game. I like it so much I purchased it so I wouldn’t have to deal with annoying ads. If I forget to move the highlighter before entering a letter, I end up having to watch the ad before I can resume. The ad just sits there for a good minute before giving me the option to go back to my game. If I have to watch an ad through my own stupid mistakes, at least make it do something other than just sitting there mocking me!

Do not trust
Wed Jul 30 2025 Rinhog

After using this app for a while, it automatically started bringing up web pages that was not initiated by me. I would close my browser before they loaded. Then while using, it started opening a web page that stated it was scanning this device. I closed my browser, restarted my device, then deleted the app. That’s really sad because I was enjoying this app every day. I have never experienced this situation before where the security of my device was at risk. I will never use again.

Cost to save history
Thu Jan 29 2026 Leading Chief

I enjoy working my way through these things. But when I stop playing for a couple of days, and then start up again it wants 100 points to let me access my previous play and start off with new puzzles. Otherwise, I have to start all over again. I don’t like that.

Ads ruined this game
Fri Feb 20 2026 Mesha16

This would be my favorite game but I’m deleting it because of the amount of ads. It’s absolutely ridiculous! I just had one ad that was 2 minutes long and it took about 20 seconds afterwards for the x to pop up. That was my breaking point, so I’m deleting it now. The only time it was enjoyable was when i put my phone on airplane mode to block the ads, but even then i wasn’t able to revive and essentially lost all of my progress. Im going to now look for a new app with the same game

I found it entertaining but
Thu Jan 29 2026 RemieJames

I found it entertaining and stimulating, however, I keep getting pop ups saying the game is out-dated and down load another game. The game seems different from this one and my progress was not kept. Then when I went back to this game, it continued with where I was as if there was no pop up saying the game is out-dated.
