Looking for a website to help with cracking simple cryptograms by hand
Some tools that I've been using to try to crack the code.

More on reddit.comA general question on how to go about manually cracking codes
Hello everyone, my D&D group has recently started to be given simple ciphers and been asked to crack them by hand. They are simple Rot or letter replacement ciphers so they're not too difficult. They are however a bit long and cracking them completely by hand takes some time (especially since I'm pretty new to this.) Do you all know any websites that allow you to input a custom string of letters/numbers that works similarly to Razzle Puzzles Cryptogram Section, where it replaces all instances of the same letter with the one you've input? I've looked through the first few pages of google and haven't found anything yet but I could just be searching the wrong thing.
Thank you very much!

Hey!
I'm glad to see this spun off into a whole community. I've been trying to use cryptogram solvers to speed up letter replacements and attempting to get some auto solves (none so far) and I wanted to share the resources in case someone else could find them useful.
https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/cryptogram This is the one that has auto solving with a lot of settings to refine results.
https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/frequency-analysis This is a good analysis tool that instantly shows n-gram frequencies for a given cypher-text.
I hope this helps crack the code!
