CGRAM(6)                         Games Manual                         CGRAM(6)

NAME
     cgram - solve Sunday-paper cryptograms

SYNOPSIS
     cgram [file]

DESCRIPTION
     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.
