Hello, and thank you for trying CRYPTOGRAMMER!

CRYPTOGRAMMER takes a no-nonsense approach to this very popular word
puzzle.  CRYPTOGRAMMER makes best use of the computer's ability to store
data and do repetitive tasks.  Perhaps the most frustrating part of manual
solving of cryptograms is the initial trial-and-error process, usually
requiring several passes of filling in letters, then erasing them and 
trying others.  CRYPTOGRAMMER removes that nuisance work, and allows you
to focus on the puzzle instead of the pencil.  In addition, CRYPTOGRAMMER
provides a handy set of tools, to tally letter and word frequencies in
your cryptogram, and provides reference lists of letter and word frequencies
in common English.
