36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Nm
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39.Nm
40is a curses-based widget for solving Sunday-paper-type cryptograms
41based on substitution ciphers.
42A random cleartext is chosen using
43.Xr fortune 6
44and a random substitution key is generated.
45.Pp
46The ciphertext is displayed.
47Typing a letter changes the key so that the letter under the cursor
48maps to the newly typed letter, and updates the display accordingly.
49Use Emacs-type cursor commands to move around.
50Enter a tilde
51.Pq ~
52to quit.
53Press asterisk
54.Pq *
55to enter an easier mode where correct letters are displayed in
56boldface.
