  • Een cryptogram is een bijzondere vorm van een kruiswoordpuzzel. Het woord "cryptogram" komt van het Griekse woord "kruptos", dat "verborgen" betekent, en "gram" (bij Grieks gráphein ‘schrijven’). De in te vullen woorden worden op een cryptische (verborgen) manier omschreven. Vaak zijn binnen de omschrijving twee aanwijzingen te vinden. Door hierover na te denken en te associëren kan men tot de oplossing komen. Als het woord gevonden is kan men veelal terug redeneren en verklaren hoe het samengesteld is, waardoor men bij goed gemaakte cryptogrammen tamelijk zeker weet dat het gevonden woord juist is. (nl)
