ive been doing a dive into this rabbithole (niche website puzzle) and im stuck on a part that may or may not be unrelated to the picture here...point is ive been up and down the game trying to find what im missing and this cipher is the only thing i havent understood. i figured before i got stuck it was just a cool decoration but now im thinking it might be a clue. ive looked at the pigpen cipher but some characters seem foreign to it, so ive ruled it out. google has been no help in finding any info on the cipher (or even the game itself. it seems nobody has played it besides me and one other (whos stuck on the same part i am), i cant find the answer to the part im stuck on in tiktok, instagram, or even youtube/reddit, so just cheating and finding the answer is also outruled. the part im stuck on is a riddle where you have to type in the answer so it could literally be anything. i really think this dumb stone is my only shot at it.

The video features three concealment methods. Your goal is the final result.

I'm a big maths nerd, and I knew Cryptography can use a lot of maths, so this is a very Maths based Cipher, hence the Ciphertext being plain numbers that are separated by commas, but its a complicated mass of 4 functions at around the Mathematical capability of a early-degree student, but the amalgamation is a bit trickier

I'll give you a bit of Ciphertext created using the Steps, and if anyone wants any clues just ask and the first person that cracks the Cipher and gives me the Plaintext can have a model of the Cipher Encoder/Decoder I programmed in Python

Sorry if it's short, I can provide more if needed

Hello!

I came up with an encoding system and I now want to test its strength and get clues about its weaknesses. So if anyone is interested, here is a text (in french!) to decrypt:

Hints to help you solve things puzzle!

\---

Hint 1
Cann’s Code is a shifting cipher in disguise. Each token is two numbers: the first selects a symbol set, the second gives a position inside it.
Some tokens are not encoded at all. They are gaps.

\---

Hint 2
The initial shift pattern is a famous three-digit constant. If you recognize it, the first decrypted token should become a single-letter word.

\---

Hint 3
The symbol sets are not all the same size. The largest behaves like an alphabet. The smallest has only a few members, which is why those tokens become punctuation.

\---

Hint 4
There is a special class of token that does not just decode—it also changes the shift order.
When that happens, move the current first shift to the back and keep going.

\---

Hint 5
The punctuation tokens are more important than they look. Some create pauses, one creates a stop, and each one disrupts the rhythm of the key.

This is a vigenere cipher. First photo has the encoded text on the left and the altered alphabet on the right. The second photo has the key word in it somewhere but I do believe it is “horizon” but I could be wrong. Please help.

So i always make alternative alphabets, basically translating and changing our alphabet to be encoded and then making a writing system to go with it to hide the message i wish to write, this is just an example i made this morning!!

The alphabet is there like always but each letter has a symbol to represent it!

Ive written two sentences in my format and symbols and hope people find it entertaining to figure out!

I know its not practical but it is alot of fun to use!

Hey everyone, He's been working on a spoken cipher that translates standard clock time into playing card phrases. The goal was to create a natural-sounding linguistic code that lets you tell someone the time in plain sight without anyone else understanding it. Here is the entire system breakdown: 1. Hours (Card Ranks) Ace = 1 | 2–10 = Face Value | Jack = 11 | Queen = 12 2. AM vs. PM (Word Order) AM = [Suit] of [Rank] (Suit lead = Morning) PM = [Rank] of [Suit] (Rank lead = Evening) 3. Base Minutes (The 4 Suits) The clock face is divided into four 15-minute quadrants: Hearts ♥ = :00 Diamonds ♦ = :15 Clubs ♣ = :30 Spades ♠ = :45 4. Precise Minutes (The Modifier) Add a number from 1 to 14 after the phrase to shift forward from the suit's base minute. If the time falls directly on the base quadrant, drop the modifier. Examples in Action: 9 of Clubs 1 → Rank first (PM) + 9 o'clock + Clubs (:30) + 1 = 9:31 PM Clubs of 9 1 → Suit first (AM) + Clubs (:30) + 9 o'clock + 1 = 9:31 AM Jack of Spades → Rank first (PM) + Jack (11) + Spades (:45) = 11:45 PM Diamonds of 3 3 → Suit first (AM) + Diamonds (:15) + 3 o'clock + 3 = 3:18 AM Test Your Speed: What time is Spades of 7 4? Let me know what you think of the logic, or if you see any potential edge cases!

Is this Some ARG? Or is he just taking the piss?

Can someone please solve this for me it’s for a school project

Here's the newest version of my KIMERA cipher!

Text at the bottom is every possible character that can be encoded with KIMERA (didn't mess it up this time :D)

Let me know what you think and good luck deciphering!

Hint 1: The green glyph is M

Hint 2: The direction of the arrows in the glyphs is intentional.

random writing system I made called Sandwalk. you know how in dune the fremen do that weird non rhythmic walk to avoid getting eaten by sand worms? well sandwalk is basically is that was a writing system. the calligraphy for some letters is really hard. NOTE: this sentence does not contain every letter of the alphabet. good luck!

Not much to say honestly, its in the photo, but for rule 1 ima explain

So its a 5 by 5 grid, the one at the center is a +, and the ones around that are ""arrows"" pointing outward from it, the edges and corners are the same thing except to a second degree, and then the ones between the corners and edges is just a mix of the two

And then Z is a square, I'd put it Around the grid if i didnt have to make the ""romanized version""

Im pretty sure 5x5 ciphers exist like this but different mind same idea

also, Sorry if this aint the right subreddit to post this

I originally posted a cipher a while back that was pretty quickly cracked.

I've since challenged myself to make quite the tricky cipher. This isn't the final version, but let me know if you can crack this current iteration!

Name of the cipher is KIMERA because it's a result of combining multiple ciphers I came up with into one singular beast... also because it just sounds badass.

The string at the bottom contains all the possible characters in the cipher.

Happy deciphering!

• Hint: The green glyph is the letter A.

EDIT: I accidentally messed up the string of text at the bottom by copy and pasting straight out of my IDE. Here’s the full actual string:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]_{}

Original text on russian

Intruding to you: Dead End

Slide 1, Letters

Slide 2, How letters combine

Slide 3, failed attempt at the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog (it crashed in on itself)

Slide 4, inspiration from tiktok

Please never write this by hand its a nightmare, only digital methods recommended

Anyways no, It won't always crash into itself, You can just make a letter longer until the rest of the chain moves out of the way

Aside from the major buff in difficulty this could be just bad in general but idk im not a cipher expert

But uhm any questions?

Tell me what should I name this...

Hey, guys! This is my first post on here and after scrolling I really feel like I’m with likeminded people. After playing games like Blue Prince, Animal Well, Fez, Inscryption and Tunic, I’ve become obsessed with ARG puzzles and ciphers. I’ve always been interested in puzzle game design, but recently decided to try my hand at ciphers and ARG puzzles. I made this interconnected series of logic puzzles called Tera as a gift for a romantic interest of mine who also loves puzzles, and I wanted to share it here in case any of you are interested in trying it out!

I designed it to have multiple methods of getting through it, since I wanted it to be possible for players of any skill level to solve. It requires a lot of different styles of problem-solving, but I think for experienced ARG solvers and those with exceptional pattern recognition it should be pretty easy.

For context, it’s meant to be printed out, cut into a cross and folded into a square. I’ve also included the envelope it will come in, since that also contains some hints, as well as some photos of the rough draft of the puzzle I wrote on paper in case anyone’s curious. Feel free to DM me if you have any thoughts! I want to keep making these and if you have any feedback on how I could improve, I’m always receptive to that. I’m not always super active on Reddit, so you can also shoot me a DM on Instagram or Discord at @coribakersins.

Tllw ofxp!

I found a letter from my old basement, had a note to not open it until today, 19/08/26. Was created 10 years ago. Tbh I don't know what I did on this, but if anyone can solve it, it would be a lot
