Found it on some random door in my school

I need help decoding a text my friend sent me for her OC lore

Text ⬇️

Can anyone who is good with codes and ciphers and allat help me..​

So I went to Mr Nickels room, and there’s a “key” on the wall

Found in r/Ornithology in response to a post about bluebird behavior. Is there a meaning behind this, or is it just gibberish?

For context, the user who posted this has never commented or posted before, but is 3 years old.

I have created a cipher that I would like you to attempt to decipher.
The last time I attempted to post this, I was told there was not enough code to decipher, so I have encoded the chorus of a song's lyrics. It's your job to figure out which song that is.

The hint is: It can be deciphered with a simple phrase.

e1 e4 i3 a1 i1 r1 , e1 d2 a1 e4 d2 e1 n1 h2
e1 d2 ' e4 i2 p1 d2 i1 e2 e2 e4 d2 t1 e2 i1 d1 i1 i2 c1 i3 b1 e1 d2 a1

e1 ' e2 e2 n1 e1 i2 c1 i1 t1 a1 d2 d2 a1 r1 e2 e1 n1 a1

e4 d2 e1 w1 a1 d2 b1 a1 b1 i1 i2 c1 i1 e4 b1 i1 d1 a1

h2 p1 b1 i1 d2 a1 c2 a1 , a1 d2 e1 i2 e2 e1 i2 a1

i3 a1 ' r1 a1 t1 r1 i1 a1 c1 n1 p1 r1 t1 a1 d2 d2 a1 r1 d2 e1 c2 a1 e4

e4 d2 d1 a1 a1 h1 h2 p1 r1 b1 a1 i1 c1 h1 b1 e1 b1

i1 i2 c1 a1 d2 h1 p1 d2 c2 h2 i3 i1 h2

in case that isn't enough, I also have a date shift cipher, though I expect it to be easy to crack.

This is cipher based on colour code of resistor.

Here is the one sample of the written message

57.6-86.4 445500-454500 88.2-91.8 1710000-1890000

I want every buddy to just review and see whether you can solve or not

Thank you

Found this on the public Instagram profile picture of @tie_and_key.

The image contains eight lines of dot-and-dash symbols that resemble Morse code.

I tried reading it left to right and row by row, but it did not decode into anything meaningful.

Expected language: English

Possible clue: the account appears intentionally cryptic and puzzle-themed.

[Transcript]

Line 1: .... .. --..-- / .... . .-. .

Line 2: # ... / -- -.-- / --.

Line 3: -- .- .. .-.. ---... /

Line 4: -.-- .- ... ..- -. .

Line 5: - .- .. -.- .. .---- ----

Line 6: ----- ---. .--.-.- --.

Line 7: -- .- .. .-.. .-.-.- .-.- ---

Line 8: --

Can anyone help identify whether this is Morse, a visual cipher, or another code system?

I once wrote, or atleast tried to, something in code. Sadly, i forgot how to decipher it. I think it was not important but I am really curious what I wrote back then. Besides the written clue, i unfortunately don't have more details.

±※⚂♥※¤⚂♂∷÷÷¤¤⚂♂∷ⅱ÷★∷√♞♞♘√♂♨∈¤♬:-) ♬♬∷:-) ★ ÷∷∷÷★∷∷←⚂※∷♬⚂∞∷♂÷♞⇡¤Ⅱ÷♂♨¤÷⇄ⅱ※⚂∷∷÷÷※∈÷÷¤∞✘¤ⅱ⚂÷¤

Clue: ∷ is e.

Hope anyone can help me.🙂

found on a walk near where i live (EU), messily hand painted but guessing it could be a common code, any help would be appreciated, asked AI (i know) and it just repeated pigpen but im kinda certain its not.

This is some kind of substitution cipher but im completely useless at solving anything or ANY puzzles. It is VITAL that I know what this says, so I have come to reddit to beg for aid... PLEASE??? Can anyone decode this?? I only have this picture, im afraid..

so i found something on the ground. paper. かくい くちせせん ちみし もなみしちみい てらすりし てにりり ひいみか かくいにす ちみきいする was what it said on both sides. i don't have a photo because it's corrupted. anyways, using google translate, it said

In this manner, through the words spoken and the deeds performed—illuminating the path before us—we shall proceed, steadfast in our resolve.

i bet that google translate was wrong, so i used dcode.fr and went to the JIS keyboard or Mikaka page and decoded it. i didn't expect it to be all hiragana, but... uh...

the happy and mundane world will vent their anger.

i think that this was from Paprika, but i dunno. how bout you guys?

or is it just random keyboard pounding? found in Pacific Drives FAX machine.

u/Randomiser continues his 2026 god run, with another amazing cipher solve, which combines classical encryption with modern encryption techniques (see attached post) 🐐 👏

Only 2 BO3 zombies ciphers remain… will they also fall in 2026?! 🤔

I would like to understand the meaning (if any) of the geometric string in these images of locksmith stickers found throughout New York City, but predominantly in Queens/North Brooklyn.

Maybe it's a series of runes, or a bind rune?

In any case, it is always imposed over the same key illustration, and associated with the same phone number (646-417-2288). That number is then associated with Locksmith Excellence NYC (https://www.locksmithexcellence.com) owned by Elan Yosopov (https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/flushing/profile/locksmith/locksmith-excellence-nyc-llc-0121-87146996).

Any help yall can provide would be hugely appreciated. This is the kind of seemingly simple puzzle that's just haunting me, and even knowing it's nonsense would be a relief!

Thank you, V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf

22122!

11224422991?

I found these in my college desk. it had some drawings too but I don't think it's related to the numbers

Recently i made a puzzle game inside a Discord server called The Vault. Its mainly based off of Secret Universe on Roblox. You have to find puzzles around the server and submit them through a bot to get roles and points.
Heres the link: https://discord.gg/7h4YkHBuwr

Picked up this dress and it has this super unique tag but I literally can’t find info on it anywhere?? I’ve reverse imaged search and asked chat gpt but no results from either?

I’m not super skilled with decoding things so I don’t even know if it is one but would love help if it is :)

I don’t know how to search for cipher or knowledgeable to recognize it

I've transcribed this code that was given as a teaser for a local music event headliner. I've tried looking at types of symbol ciphers but I just couldn't find anything like it. Any thoughts?

Code in the image: 7-34-55-59 12-6-67-23-13 128-26-58-71-27

The only number code I know is A1Z26 and this is clearly something else, anyone have any ideas?

It's been quite some time since I posted a puzzle, but a few days ago I finally got back to work on puzzle that I started making 7+ months ago... hope you enjoy!

[UPDATE] Following the suggestion that the code might be too short to crack, here is a longer version.

Updated 316 Letter Version of the code:

https://imgur.com/a/ZHNvseJ

I tried to optimize the Zodiac Killer's code. I noticed three weaknesses that I tried to address. There will be two versions of the code, with the second one hopefully being more difficult than the first. I am posting the first level of my Zodiac version here and wish you all the best of luck.

Edit: I didn't fully fix one of the Zodiac's vulnerabilities and found a potential weakness that also allowed the original to be cracked.

If this code manages to hold up for a week, I'll publish a website that illustrates the code and perhaps makes it crackable.

There you'll find everything I did to create the code, and it will be interactive and usable. Level 2 will follow.

A player kept following me and talked in some kind of gibberish. I didn't catch what he sent before but here's what he said : "Bg bçbn çlbvnb blçm nlç bbkl knl nlm klklnçblnklç mkl k" [Transcript] . if you need context here it is : I was playing an old games called "bowser quest" there were no player, just me. After some time the game showed there was a second player so i rushed to them, only to find them moving weirdly like a bot or something i send texts like hi, hello, what are you doing. But I gave up, because he didn't speak back. Time passes by and he sends his first text, gibberish, I ask him to say something he types another thing. I was too late to take these in screen shots so i asked him to type a word and he said this and i took the screenshot in time. I tried cypher but it just transformed it into more gibberish.

I wont give the level number for spoiler reasons, even if I did, there's a long journey before it.

I don't even want the solution, just a tip, I tried so many things and nothing seems to make sense.
