How to access earlier solved cryptograms?
As I am scrolling through comments after I finish solving a cryptogram, I see people like LLapp respond to comments after already posting a comment. However, I don't see any button to go through earlier games. The recent games tab only gives you the last 10 or so that you have done, while I see LLapp respond to comments over the span of years. Please someone help!

hi! i don't think you can manually access previously solved cryptograms—it seems to happen randomly. i've had the same puzzles show up again a few weeks later after solving others multiple times. hope this helps! -
To my knowledge, the only way to return to a previously-solved puzzle is by chance. You will have to keep playing cryptograms repeatedly, and the more you do, the more chances you'll have that you'll return to visit a puzzle you previously solved. But there will be others that you may never see again. The site administrator could correct me, but that's the impression I have. It makes for one of the most interesting types of conversations that I've ever seen. Sometimes, people are able to reply fairly quickly (to others, or to themselves) and sometimes by the time we make it back to a given conversation, some of the other participants have died--which can be poignant but also gives us an opportunity to appreciate them again and possibly get to know them better with a sort of strange view into their past. I don't think I originally felt quite the same, but it probably also means that we should be extra forgiving of people, given that they often won't be back soon (or at all) to justify or correct previous statements, or to apologize for them.
Anyway, like Tammy said, it seems the only way to get back is randomly.Comment

So whenever I post a comment, I think carefully because it seems like carving into a stone. Permanent and ancient.Comment
