Decrypto for Linux Description

As a child, I used to race my parents to complete the cryptoquips published in our NewsPaper. Occasionally, all of us would get stumped, and we wished we could find out the answer. This program will automatically compute the answer to most cryptoquips. Decrypto offers both dictionary and statistical attacks. In a dictionary attack, it tries to match up words in the dictionary against words in the puzzle. This means it can solve any puzzle that consists of words found in the dictionary, but it also employs techniques to deal with the occasional non-dictionary word. The statistical attack is effective on a broad range of puzzles, and can produce a solution even if the word boundaries are not known (i.e., spaces have been removed from the puzzle.)
