January’s ciphers are about friendship.
Here is this week’s coded proverb. To help you decode the message Felix is giving you the key for the letters in the word angels.
Good luck on decoding the message.

This week’s proverb is written in the Caesar Cipher because the Roman general Julius Caesar used it to send messages to his troops. It is a simple shift cipher in which the letters in the alphabet shift down several spaces. In this case, start with A and count down 6 letters to F; the code would be F=A, G=B, H=C, etc. This is an easy code to write and with 26 tries you can easily break it.
F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M |
S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | A | B | C | D | E |
N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
A friend is easier lost than found.
