Cryptogram Solver
Cryptograms are a popular form of puzzle that involve decoding a message by replacing letters with other letters or symbols. They can be found in newspapers, magazines, and online, and can be a fun and challenging way to pass the time. In this blog post, we will be creating a simple tool that allows users to input a cryptogram and a clue, and then displays the decoded message. This tool is a good starting point for those who are new to coding and want to learn how to create a basic web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Step 1:
Create the HTML structure The first step in creating our cryptogram solver tool is to create the HTML structure. We will start by creating a simple form that has two fields, one for the "puzzle" (the encoded message) and one for the "clue" (the cryptogram). We will also include a "submit" button and a "result" element that will display the decoded message.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Cryptogram Solver</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Cryptogram Solver</h1>
<form id="cryptogram-form">
<label for="puzzle">Puzzle:</label>
<input type="text" id="puzzle" name="puzzle">
<br>
<label for="clue">Clue:</label>
input" id="clue" name="clue">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Solve">
</form>
<p id="result"></p>
</body>
</html>Step 2:
Add CSS for styling Once the HTML structure is in place, we can add some CSS to style the form and the result element. We can use CSS to control the layout, colors, and font sizes of the elements on the page.
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
#cryptogram-form {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 50%;
}
#result {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Step 3:
Add JavaScript for the logic Now that the HTML and CSS are in place, we can add the JavaScript code to make the form functional. We will start by getting references to the form, input fields and the result element, and then add an event listener to the form to listen for the submit event. When the form is submitted, we will prevent the default action, get the value of the input fields, and then call a function to decode the message.
const form = document.getElementById("cryptogram-form");
form.addEventListener("submit", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const encodedMessage = document.getElementById("puzzle").value;
const clue = document.getElementById("clue").value;
const result = document.getElementById("result");
const decodedMessage = decodeMessage(encodedMessage, clue);
result.textContent = decodedMessage;
});
function decodeMessage(encodedMessage, clue) {
let decodedMessage = "";
let decodedLetters = {};
let clueArr = clue.split(", ");
for (let i = 0; i < clueArr.length; i++) {
let currentClue = clueArr[i].split("=");
decodedLetters[currentClue[0]] = currentClue[1];
}
for (let i = 0; i < encodedMessage.length; i++) {
let currentLetter = encodedMessage[i];
if (currentLetter === " " || !/^[a-zA-Z]+$/.test(currentLetter)) {
decodedMessage += currentLetter;
continue;
}
if(decodedLetters[currentLetter]) {
decodedMessage += decodedLetters[currentLetter];
} else {
decodedMessage += currentLetter;
}
}
return decodedMessage;
}
That's it! We now have a functional cryptogram solver tool that allows users to input a cryptogram and a clue, and then displays the decoded message. This is just a basic example and there are many ways to improve and expand upon it. With this tool, you can solve the cryptograms on your own or with friends.
