Hello John! As usual all of your programs are outstanding and well thought out. This makes my 38th year on cryptograms! This Developer is a trusted, and outstanding creator of cryptograms. I have been playing his programs for years and cannot find a single competitor that out-ranks his programs. They are well thought out and offer so many available options. I prefer my cryptograms…..for the keyboard not to remove used letters. I like the challenge in finding them on my own. My biggest blunders are going to fast and missing that simple helpful answer. But, I still like to challenge myself and have been playing this as you see a very very long time. My only wish is more and more quotes, as I see others wish too. Again BlackLabs has the best ever! If Norman is retired then I hope you can provide them, additional quotes. Lost his e-mail so I can’t send him a message hope you are all well. Glenda

I love variety puzzles and I think I hit the digital jackpot with these. Reasonably priced, truly no adds or in-app purchases, just simple variety puzzle fun in different levels of difficulty. I hope there’s more to buy because I’m about halfway through all of the puzzles.

Bugs ruin this otherwise mediocre app. No bells, 0 whistles design-wise, which is fine. If you have to force close the app which I've already had to do a couple times, it restores the settings to default. Then there's no menu button to change the settings after you first install the app, unless you want to do it game by game, and even then you don't have the same options you originally had. This is fine if you don't mind the default settings but I hate playing with a timer, and I don't want it to show me incorrect letters (kind of defeats the purpose). The only way around this was to delete and reinstall the app, but then you have to start over and do all the same puzzles again. So just never mind, I'll find another app.
