==Other crypto puzzles== While the cryptogram has remained popular, over time other puzzles similar to it have emerged. One of these is the Cryptoquote, which is a famous quote encrypted in the same way as a cryptogram. A more recent version, with a biblical twist, is CodedWord. This puzzle makes the solution available only online, where it provides a short exegesis on the biblical text. A third is the Cryptoquiz. The top of this puzzle has a category (unencrypted), such as "Flowers". Below this is a list of encrypted words which are related to the stated category. The person must then solve for the entire list to finish the puzzle. Yet another type involves using numbers as they relate to texting to solve the puzzle. The [[Zodiac Killer]] sent four cryptograms to police while he was still active. Despite much research, only two of these have been translated, which was of no help in identifying the serial killer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/16679/zodiac-killer-cipher-amateur-codebreakers/|title=The obsessive amateur code-breakers hoping to crack the Zodiac killer's cipher|website=kernelmag.dailydot.com|access-date=2017-09-28|archive-date=2017-09-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170928150347/http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/16679/zodiac-killer-cipher-amateur-codebreakers/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
