In Cryptomania, the beginner skill level displays the punctuation, author, and title as part of the cryptograms. The in­termediate level displays them, too, but doesn’t set apart the author and title typographically. The expert level doesn’t display punctuation, authors, or titles.
In Guess the Author, the beginner level displays the title and author’s dates as well as the quotation. The intermediate level displays the author’s dates. The expert level dis­plays only the quotation.
