Printable Cryptogram Puzzles and Crypto Families

Printable Cryptograms

As mentioned above, a cryptogram puzzle is a short paragrah of text that is encrypted with letter substitutions. Each printable puzzle page has three separate puzzles with three different encryptions. So, each of the three cryptogram puzzles per page must be solved separately. Solution pages are also included. If this is for use in a classroom, the teacher may want to give a hint by supplying the solution for one of the words in each puzzle.

Printable Crypto Families Puzzles

The crypto-families puzzles are lists of words or short phrases that are encrypted with letter substitutions. Each list of words is closely related to the title of the list. For each theme there are two printable puzzle pages. One page has 4 crypto-family puzzles with no hints. The second page has three of the four puzzles from the first page and a list of all the possible solutions for the 3 puzzles. This is for kids who may have difficulty solving these puzzles without hints. A solution page is also included for each theme set of puzzles.
