What is cryptogram?

A cryptogram is like a puzzle where letters in a message are replaced with different letters or symbols**.** You can solve it by figuring out which letter stands for which.  It's a fun challenge for learners.

How do these worksheets benefit your learners?

  • Learners must analyze the symbols to decode the hidden words. This promotes cognitive development and critical thinking.
  • Cryptograms are essentially puzzles that need to be solved. Kids learn to approach problems systematically, breaking down complex codes into manageable parts. This problem-solving skill is transferable to various areas of their academic and personal lives.
  • Attention to detail
  • Patience and perseverance
  • Enjoyable learning experience
