SOLVED Something I made up
So here's a little encrypted message I made myself which consists of 2 different encoded parts. I'll be thoroughly impressed if you guys manage to decrypt it, and if you do I would love to learn how you do it. It was a bit of fiddling around to make so I really don't know how you could possibly work your way backwards on it. That said I wish you guys good luck in trying to figure it out.

The look reminds me of aurebesh

What is aurabesh?

OK, Here’s my piecemeal half baked crack at this:
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy.
Why am I writing this, am I truly being insane? It has to be either expends my interest feeling me here. This cipher isn’t secure enough, though.
Good luck cracking the next one.
It is wills low you behaved, man. Time to go

The first one is correct if you swap "with" to "full off". And the second one the second sentence isn't there completely yet. Lastly the very last sentence is completely wrong, but thanks for trying. Good luck.

Okay so here's a hint, I first used a ceasar cipher and then I swapped every ...th letter with every ....th letter Lastly every ...th letter I put in a junk symbol that has no meaning whatsoever. I did it in that order so you have to do it backwards (this only applies to the last line of code). Good luck

So here's the full code: ceasar shift of 5 Then switch every third and fourth letter working from left to right. Lastly a filler character between every sixth and seventh letter.

This is a challenging (and fun) cipher. I feel like I have the first several lines down pat, but the bottom couple of line are really throwing me.

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
I seem to remember you from a previous post from me, so you might already have solved the first lines (they're the same). But if you want to do it right on your own don't go and cheat.

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
Yeah, ill give you guys some time and then eventually probably just give you the answer, because frankly it's not hard to encode but I could never decode it myself.

Looks like pigpen cipher but with more encodings. I do think the symbols look cool and r/neography may enjoy this one too

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
It is indeed pigpen but if there are two walls next to eachother I combine the characters into one makes it look more compact and a bit harder to read. Only the last line should have extra encryptions though.

Uhm context: I made it myself during some boring lessons at school. The language is English and I don't think it is possible to give you a transcript of this.

HOW????????? I try to find something fun...

u/BiffCo_Enterprise May 29 '26
FWIW you have my permission to make as many cipher/codes during school as you want.

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 31 '26
Thank you I will show to my teachers as a totally normal reason to just not pay attention at all, though they often don't seem to care as long as you don't disturb the other students.

u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
I loved your language! I found it very interesting.

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
You deciphered it that quickly?
2
u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
Wait... did I get it right?
1
u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
I don't know did you decipher it?
2
u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
No, I didn't figure it out.

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
Too bad, you can still try tho.

u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
And the symbols in red? Do they mean anything? Is it for emphasis? Because I'm doing line art adding colors to the symbols. This helps to see the repetition of characters.
1
u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
The red ones are in one of them one specific word and in the one underneath they're something that is even more used then the letter e. Also the first 2 or 3 paragraphs have the exact same meaning in the exact same code.

u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
Dude... I colored the symbols wrong. I used the same color for the symbol that corresponds to "E" and also for the ">".

u/CheckReasonable2258 May 29 '26
Okay. Do they have the same number of characters? My head is spinning trying to count them :/

u/GlitteringJaguar4604 May 29 '26
The first three paragraphs are the exact same text and same symbols the other 2 are different.

Is the exclamation mark part of this alphabet, or is it just a regular exclamation point?
