CGRAM(6)                      NetBSD 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 cleart-
     ext, 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.
