Cryptogram Solving (Obsolete)

A long time ago, the League had a Cryptogram solver named Brutus and a Cryptogram helper named Penrose, but they were abandoned more than ten years ago.

Form Friend (Obsolete)

Form Friend was a tool from Lucifer@puzzlers.org to help build forms. Forms are an Extra in the Enigma; these are words interlocked to make a variety of shapes that can be simply rectangular or more complex.

This tool is obsolete but may still run on old systems. For solvers, the Enigma now contains form shapes so the tool is not needed.

Corrigenda (Obsolete)

From August 1997 to December 2009, notes about errors and omissions in The Enigma were available in the Corrigenda page.
