20221026 – Change Your Mind

Substitution Cipher

This cipher is one of the easiest ciphers to write and to break.  Because it is easy to break, it is not used often.

20 8 15 19 5  /  23 8 15  /  3 1 14 14 15 20  /  3 8 1 14 7 5  /  20 8 5 9 18  /  13 9 14 4 19 

/  3 1 14 14 15 20  /  3 8 1 14 7 5  /  1 14 25 20 8 9 14 7.

You write 1 through 26 and write the alphabet next to the numbers – A=1, B=2, Y=25, Z=26
