iPad Retina and iPhone 5 support for Cryptogram, Crypto-Families and Quotefalls.
- Added high resolution art for iPad retina support.
- New layout to get the most from the iPhone 5's larger screen, including a wider keyboard!
- Average puzzle times are now based on millions of scores.

Sorry for the long delay between updates - recreating all of the art at high resolutions for the retina iPads took a long time. Now that that task is over we'll get back to continuing to make Cryptogram better and better.

• You can now browse and select puzzles by the quote's author. If you prefer not to know the quote's author before playing you can browse the puzzles based on the average time it takes other users to solve.
• We've added a fun new in app purchase "Potpourri"
• There is currently an issue printing with iOS 5, we are actively working on this and will have an update soon.

We recently made a change so Cryptogram iPad puzzles no longer include the author's name. We made this change for the following reasons:
• Puzzles can now be browsed by author. The challenge of a puzzle would be compromised if the author selected is also included at the end of the puzzle.
• Because of limited screen space, the iPhone puzzles never included the author's name, and this difference made scoring between iPhone and iPad inconsistent.
• User's have requested we add iCloud support to share Cryptogram data (scores, game state, etc.) across multiple devices, and this will work best if the iPhone and iPad function the same way.

We appreciate your ratings and reviews!

• Puzzles are now grouped Easy, Medium and Hard instead of Short, Medium and Long. These ratings are based on hundreds of thousands of puzzle scores. Easy games take the average user 3 minutes or less to complete, medium 4 minutes or less, and all puzzles that take more than 4 minutes are rated hard.
• We've added more puzzles. They are rated medium and we will update these ratings as data comes in.
• Puzzles are listed in order of difficulty.
• You can now gift Cryptogram, Crypto-Families, and or Quotefalls to your friends.
• 'Perfect Game' Achievements: Complete a game without any mistakes or hints (or turned off the Show Incorrect setting) and you will acquire new Game Center achievement points.
• Optimized game play for snappier response times.
• Improved Facebook support, updated for iOS 5, and other minor fixes.
