Rate each cryptogram after you've solved it
We've had a few comments made so far about our cryptograms... mostly positive, but a few were concerned that a certain quote might be too "racy" for all audiences, while others thought some were confusing or possibly had a typo. So we've implemented some new code on the "congratulatory" screen (after you've successfully solved a cryptogram) which now allows each user to share their thoughts on the quote they just revealed.
You'll be able to rate the general difficulty of the cryptogram, as well as make your opinion known on whether the quote was:
- inspirational
- clever or witty
- edgy or offensive
- confusing
... and there's even a box to click if you think there might have been an error of spelling or grammar in the original quote.
You don't need to fill out any or all of these ratings boxes, but it would be a huge help to us if you would take a second or two to make your opinions known. All it takes is a single click, and thanks to AJAX technology, you won't even be taken to a new page (your vote will be tallied and recorded without a page refresh - just like magic!)
Once we've received enough data, this will allow us to provide a more customizable playing environment for our users. Eventually those who want to avoid possibly offensive or adult-oriented quotes will be able to set that as an option. And we'll constantly be keeping tabs on any quotes which might be confusing or have spelling/grammar errors in them. (There's nothing more confounding than trying to solve a cryptogram with a typo in it, I know!)
That's it for tonight!
