CryptoQuote was redesigned from the ground up. Daily Challenge results are now working again, and your puzzle journey thru the more than 2000 included quotes will now continue.
Thank you for all of your patience and emails as I've worked thru this major update.

4.0.5
2018-11-10
Fixed an issue for some players where after finishing all of the thousands of included puzzles, they would see puzzle #1 repeatedly.
Improvements to daily challenge scores.
We're continuing to work on some reports of troubles recording your scores on the daily challenge scoreboard. Thank you for your reports and patience.
4.0.4
2018-08-09
Well, some of your fellow puzzlers found a way to travel into the future and see quotes from the future Daily Challenges.
So this version (4.0.4) removes the Mr. Fusion time-traveling engine and you can no longer peek ahead at solutions for future days. Thanks to those of you who DM'd me on Twitter and emailed support when you found this loophole. You've helped to preserve the timeline.
In all seriousness, my apologies for this mistake. I was excited to get this feature included and in your hands and obviously missed checking for this. The Next button on the daily challenge results page will no longer go beyond "today" and, even if you do get into the future somehow, you won't see solutions beyond yesterday's date.
And, of course this version includes the great updates from version 4.0.3:
* Usernames on the Daily Challenge leaderboards
* Better indication of your own score (bolded line)
* Fixed a bug where sometimes the daily challenge time would include additional time after you have solved the puzzle
Happy Puzzling!
