Cryptogram puzzle tool

Cryptogram Puzzle Tool helps solve the simple cryptogram puzzles that appear in the daily newspapers. While these puzzles can often be solved almost by inspection, CPT4 provides a handy tool the ones that turn out to be not quite so easy. If you just want a little bookkeeping help, CPT4 will instantly update all occurances of the new assignments as well as provide frequency and used/not-used letter lists as you drag-and-drop or key in suspected solution letters. But if you'd rather have the computer do the work, the automatic solution algorithm will usually come very close to a complete solution in just a few seconds. CPT4 can also create new puzzles from keyed in plaintext or from a file.

xmahjong

Real Mah Jongg is a social game that originated in China thousands of years ago. Four players, named after the four winds, take tiles from a wall in turn. The best tiles are made of ivory and wood; they click pleasantly when you knock them together. Computer Solitaire Mah Jongg (xmahjongg being one of the sillier examples) is nothing like that but it's fun, or it must be, since there are like 300 shareware versions available for Windows. This one is for X11 and it's free.
