Dechipher

Dechipher is a substitution cipher played against the clock. The screen is split into two fields. The first is a key: a series of symbols, each paired with a particular letter. The second shows only symbols, with no letters in sight, and from those you have to form words.

Your job is to translate. Read each symbol in the second field, match it to its letter using the key, and enter the letters to build valid words. All of it has to happen within a limit of one minute and thirty seconds.

The instructions ask you to rely on visual memory and on your knowledge of which letter goes with which symbol. The developer describes the challenges as growing more complex as you go. The game is framed in portrait, and no specific controls are listed.

Study the first field, where each symbol is shown with its letter. Then look at the second field, which shows symbols alone. Work out the letter behind each symbol and enter it, building valid words as you go. Try to finish within the time limit of one minute and thirty seconds, as the challenges become steadily harder.

The developer does not list the controls for this game. It runs inside the frame above, so a click or a tap on the game is the place to start.

Learn the pairs you meet most often first: once a symbol is fixed in your memory you no longer need to check the key for it, which saves time against the clock. If a word is half decoded, its known letters may point to the rest, as long as the result is a valid word.

A symbol-to-letter decoding puzzle with a time limit of 1:30, in a portrait frame. The challenges grow more complex as you progress. The developer lists no controls and does not give a level count.

INCOWORD is another word puzzle where the answer is disguised, this time as a nonsense phrase you read aloud. Word Slide Game has you rearrange columns of letters until every tile belongs to a word.
