Page Last Updated: March 7, 2008

Overview

What is a cipher? Quite simply it is a way of keeping written messages secret by changing the order of the alphabet when writing the message. For instance, I could be represented by B and T could be represented by R so the word "it" would be written "br". While this technique of obscuring text is simple to use, it is also simple to break. This game revolves around breaking a cipher so you can read the message.
