In December, all of Felix’s sayings will be about Christmas.  See if you can break his codes.

   This cipher is a transposition code. The letters are all there, but not in the order you expect. Good luck breaking the cipher.

   This week’s cipher is a Rail Fence Cipher. It was used during the Civil War and is based on zigzag of a rail fence. You write this cipher in zigzag pattern.

  Draw a zigzag:

  Then write your message (wisemen) from peak to dip: 

    W   S   M   N

       I     E    E

Your code would be: 

    WSMN

     IEE

  To decode: Write the first letter on the top row, then the first letter on the bottom row, second letter on top row, second letter on bottom row, etc. The result is  W I S E M E N.

This week’s proverb is:

Wisemen still seek him.
