Fans of cryptograms will certainly like Cryptograma which offers puzzles in both English and Spanish. The puzzle here is implemented with a slick flash interface and instead of a letter for letter substitution, each letter is represented by a different symbol. Highlighting a symbol and pressing a letter key automatically substitutes that letter for any occurence of the symbol. There also seems to be a fairly large stock of quotes, so that you can play multiple times with different puzzles.

boingboing is reporting a story about a cryptogram contained in a note left after a murder/suicide. More on the story can be found at the site of Bruce Schneier who was contacted because of his expertise regarding cryptograms. It will be interesting to see if increased publicity for this puzzle will help it get solved.
