Procrastination gave birth to my first alternative alphabet and writing style.

I was putting off a particularly irritating assignment, when I thought to myself "Heh, I wonder if I could make an orginal written language with just a pen, paper, and my head". Well, here's the result of that venture.

Im really not much familiar with ciphers at all, but I figured I could drop this here and see what y'all think of it.

The alphabet I made translates directly to english characters (I dont know if there's a term for that or not). And I have the key, but don't know how to add the image as a spoiler.

First image reads >!"This is an example" !<and is intended as your hint to solve the second, but I'm not sure if that's enough. So let me know if you need the full key

Please let me know what to fix, if needed. And I hope you enjoy my first attempt at this sort of thing!

What does this mean??

Saw my friend put this and I'm genuinely curious. It was under a video that had "leave a message for someone without mentioning them"

Our 12 year old made this and even ai can't figure it out

Information we have received

it's not a ceasar but also like a ceasar

can not, and will not give any information about the plaintext. aside from the following:may or may not have selected a message that has the same word length as a part of the song "never gonna give you up" to make you think I was Rick rolling you. not everything is a rickroll.

The message can be decoded by running it through the original cipher again without the padding

First word is definitely not never

The word the appears in the cipher

Padding was added after cipher words

No rotation of letters involved to cipher

Possible pattern based on length of words in a verse from ... Ric roll

Some letters are decoys and would be added to the beginning of a word if so

The third word is not hello

the decoy is made up padding and does not indicate a hint to the first letter of the word

Not all the words have padding

There is no key to this cipher

Help us crack this, he doesn't think you can crack it. He is mischievously laughing 😂😂😂

I Found this in my computer after it get repaired, can you help me solve it? (Challange, Easy to Medium)

"To reach the depths, use what you already possess and understand. You need to look first and make less of the unknown. You may use the predator, but it is falling piece by piece, opposite of your time, while you added it to the plan as a next lonely tool. Added by its gaze off its full name, but subtracted if you want to lead the right path, only if you know its weight to the depths."

Hello and welcome, i made this challange to find coded word, its normal 5 letter long english word (if i didnt mess it up), you only need internet, your brain and maybe work on the image but not too deep.

stuck on this level of Decrypto

first unlocked hint is “Write each encoded letter as a base-3 digit

The pie cipher key &amp; examples

I made a simple python program to draw pictures automatically.

There are also letters with diacritic symbols (like č, ā) in some languages. I want to add them to my cipher without adding new numerals, but don't know how. What do you think?

Signed up for a NO-Knowledge Cyber Competition with some friends, and before it begins in the next couple of weeks we were given this "practice challenge" to get us warmed up and ready or some BS. No example solution, explanation of how to solve it, or what a cipher even is.

Objective: "All you know is that the final message should reveal a person's name and their birth year."

So, if anyone can teach us a little bit, or shed some light on how we might be able to solve it, that would be much appreciated.

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Edit: 1 thing I forgot to mention, is that there is supposedly 5 layers to this, not to sure what that means.

What are your favorite types of ciphers to solve?

I’m starting a jigsaw puzzle company where the puzzles have hidden messages built into the artwork. I’d love your input. What are some ciphers you enjoy solving that you think would work well with this idea?

Right now I’m thinking about things like pigpen and pie style ciphers, and others that are more visual rather than just scrambled letters.

NSFW per imagery. Hopefully there's enough context. I see a number of repeating characters. There seems to be six unique lines.

V unir ernq gur ehyrf.

I can't copy and paste this, but I can say that I have the following ideas/memories:

It's almost certainly right-to-left.

The = I believe, is just a space. I think I thought it would be clever to have a character for a space.

The circle with the horizontal line through it is likely an E. That seems in my style. I know I used symmetry as a tool.

V in the images is possibly A. I kept it simple for myself.

The square with a horizontal line is probably H or I.

W in the images is probably M in plaintext.

Even with these hints, I can't seem to make sense of it.

I'm intrigued by the images, and only have faint memories of making them.

Any context or help would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

I was thinking, if I stumble upon one, and think of it to be vigenère cipher, but that I do t have the key, can I solve it? I know the basic theory of this cipher, and previously tried it, but never without a key.

By hand and also websites that do it, both are requested. Thanks.
