Developer’s Description

Puzzlehunt Assistant is an application designed to simplify and automate many problems faced in cipher solving and puzzlehunt games.

Puzzlehunt Assistant is an application designed to simplify and automate many problems faced in cipher solving and puzzlehunt games. Many common types of ciphers are available, e.g., Morse code, Semaphore, Caesar, Vigenre and related ciphers, letter numbering in various bases, etc.

Most of the decipher tools show, besides a plain translation of the code, several variants as well (differing in orientation, mirroring etc.) Extensive reference lists and tables are also available. Since version 2.0 it is possible to use Puzzlehunt Assistant for cipher design as well as solving.

Also included are several tools for easing routine tasks accompanying cipher solving frequency analysis, checkpoint logbook, calendar, and a regular expression search engine.

Unique features of the Puzzlehunt Assistant:

Intuitive touch control optimized for both phones and tablets

Graphical signal flag recognition

Fine-tuning of alphabetical ordering (optional inclusion of J, Q, X)

Regexp dictionary search among almost 90000 entries

Automated checkpoint logbook (check-in and check-out time, solution, notes, )

Complete reference tables (including symbols, signal flag meanings, etc.)

Option to switch localisations (currently en, cs)

Puzzlehunt Assistant offers the following tools:

Morse code, reference, variants, transmission via flash light or beeps

Braille, reference

Letter numbering in five radices, Roman numerals, permutations; cyclic counting, ASCII, alphabet fine-tuning

Semaphore, reference, variants

Pigpen ciphers, Polybius square, Multi-tap, variants, Bifid and Trifid ciphers

Signal flags, reference including single flag meanings

Caesar, Atbash, Vigenre, Beaumont, autokey, keyword ciphers, custom translation tables

Transposition ciphers: aligning the input in rectangle or triangle, geometric manipulation (zoom, rotation, shear)

Extensive frequency analysis letters, digits, symbols, word lengths, initial & final letters, etc., reference table of typical English relative letter counts

Calendar tools, conversions of day numbers in week/month/year, difference, optional reference of Czech and Slovak name days

Checkpoint Logbook, automated check-in and check-out time record, notes

Regular expression dictionary search using spell checker dictionary (download required)

Please note that Puzzlehunt Assistant is neither designed nor meant to:

deal with real-world encryption or security issues

display any sort of artificial intelligence including suggestions, prediction, or utility rating

passively display lookup tables, Morse trees etc.

substitute commonly available apps like calculator, web searcher, or OCR

substitute paper in graphical cipher solving
