Sunday-paper cryptograms
cgram [file] |
cgram
is a curses-based widget for solving
Sunday-paper-type cryptograms based on substitution ciphers. If
file is given, it is used as cleartext, otherwise a
random cleartext is chosen using
fortune(6); either way, a
random substitution key is generated.
The ciphertext is displayed. Typing a letter changes the key so that the letter under the cursor maps to the newly typed letter, and updates the display accordingly. Use Emacs-type cursor commands to move around. Enter a tilde (~) to quit. Press asterisk (*) to enter an easier mode where correct characters are displayed in boldface.
cgram
was written circa 2004. It was
imported into NetBSD in 2013 and first appeared in
NetBSD 7.0.
