How To Play Audio Cipher

Audio Cipher is a simple game.  The goal is to unscramble the quote and the digitized sound that goes with it.

You unscramble the quote by swapping the letters into their correct position.  For example, lets say you think the As and the Ls should be swapped.  First click on one of the Ls in the quote.  All the Ls will turn red to indicate that L is the currently selected letter.  Now click on one of the As.  All the As turn into Ls and all the Ls turn into As.

The scrambled sound that goes with the quote may be heard at any time by pressing the Play button.  As the letters in the quote become unscrambled, so does the digitized sound bite.

Tips for solving Audio Cipher puzzles:

- Listen for words in the scrambled sound bite.

- Single characters are either an A or an I.

- A single letter following an apostrophe is probably an S or a T.

- Keep in mind what letters are most common.
