Secret Friendship Skill: Creating Your Own Secret Code

 

 

Hey, crew – it’s me, Sparky Fact!

I’ve had another great idea for making our club super secret. I think we should come up with our very own secret code. Here are some ideas to create a code that would let us send secret messages that no one else could read.

Reverse Words

One simple way we could write in code is just to reverse each word, so that it’s written backwards, like this:

Meet me in the clubhouse

Teem em ni eht esuohbulc

Reverse the alphabet

Another way we could write our code is to reverse all the letters in the alphabet so that A=Z, B=Y, C=X, like this:

Calling all ‘Kinz Crew

Xzoormt zoo ‘Prma Xivd

Read every second letter

We could also create a code using every other letter in a message, so that when you get a note from the ‘Kinz Crew, you start reading the second letter of the sentence and then skip a letter each time to solve the code.

Can you keep a secret?

Tczarnb ygoeuf kneoeqpc am srexctroeatp?

Number the Alphabet

Or we could assign numbers to the letters, starting with A=1, so that B=2 and C=3, like this:

‘Kinz Crew is on the case

11 9 14 26   3 18 5 23   9 19   15 14   20 8 5   3 1 19 5

What do you think, guys? Do you have any more ideas for communicating with secret codes?

    Reversing the alphabet would get really annoying to decode, especially for letters near the middle of the alphabet. Same with the numbering the alphabet. Why not just talk normally?

    This is so cool. Someone out there can you unlock this code? (not using one of the codes from above)

    Sometimes the flower codes used are always awesome.
    Using Webkinz people is always awesome.

    (I’ll give you a hint, it is like read every second letter.)
