solve Sunday-paper cryptograms
cgram
is a curses-based widget for solving
Sunday-paper-type cryptograms based on substitution ciphers. A random
cleartext is chosen using
fortune(6) and 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 letters are displayed in boldface.
cgram
was written circa 2004. It was imported into
NetBSD in 2013 and first appeared in
NetBSD 7.0.
