Scripture Cryptogram Puzzles

The Bible contains some of the most widely memorized and deeply loved writing in human history — verses that have comforted people in grief, anchored them in uncertainty, and challenged them toward something better. These cryptograms encode well-known passages from the ESV (English Standard Version), spanning both Old and New Testaments: the poetry of the Psalms, the wisdom of Proverbs, the letters of Paul, the words of Jesus. Each puzzle hides the scripture reference until you solve it, so you decode the words on their own merits before the verse location is revealed. Whether you know these passages by heart or are encountering them fresh, solving them letter by letter has a way of making them land differently.

About These Puzzles

Each puzzle on WebCryptogram uses a unique letter substitution cipher — every letter in the alphabet is swapped for a different one, and that mapping stays consistent throughout the puzzle. To solve it, click on any cipher letter and type your guess. The puzzle tracks your time, counts hints and errors, and rates your performance when you finish.
