Cryptle #7 · Sun 6 Sep 2026

This one is from the archive. Play it for practice — past puzzles never count toward a streak. Today’s cipher is here.

3 guesses to crack the cipher. One cipher each day.

How to play Cryptle

The block on the page is an ordinary English sentence with a cipher laid over it. Every letter is still in there. Your job is to read it.

  • We tell you which cipher it is Most days — but not today. This is a review day: the name is withheld, and working out which cipher it is comes first.
  • Type the decoded message Capitals, spaces and punctuation are all ignored — the third stone and THETHIRDSTONE both count.
  • 3 guesses, then the day is done A wrong guess tells you whether your answer is even the right length, and which part of your method to doubt.
  • Solve it and your streak grows Miss a day, or run out of guesses, and it goes back to zero. That’s the whole prize — there’s nothing to win but the run itself.
  • A new one lands at midnight Past days stay playable in the archive, but practice never counts toward a streak.

Never solved one before? The guides walk through every cipher we use, one at a time.

Review Day

The cipher’s name is withheld — working out which it is comes first

Need a nudge?

One of this week's ciphers — working out which is part of the puzzle.

The answer

YOUR STREAK IS WATCHING YOU

How it works

A review day — the cipher's name was withheld, so step one was working out which of the week's techniques was in play. Every letter has been swapped for another one, and the same swap is used all the way through. Letter shapes stay put — word lengths and spacing are still real clues. This one is ROT13. The key: shift 13. A Caesar shift of exactly 13 — which means encoding and decoding are the same move. Take the first letter, L, and walk it back 13 places: it lands on Y. Do that to every letter and the message reads Y O U… The answer was YOUR STREAK IS WATCHING YOU.
