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?

    These are pretty good ideas but they seem either really easy for others to decode or they seem like they’d take your friend too much time to decode. My friend and I have a weird secret code but it’s pretty easy to memorize, and no one can figure it out. It’s kind of like Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics (is that how you spell it?) but our code is easy to draw. It’s basically like E is a circe, O is a smiley face, A is a triangle, I is a stick figure person, U is the letter X in a box, and other random drawings for other letters. It seems hard, but believe me, it’s easy once you memorize it!

    those are all great ideas

    I would do the first one. Or maybe the third one. Either one is good. :)

    sounds super fun but confusing too

    this is wierd.~Moonstar***

    Okay, this is a really cool idea! How about words that have meanings? Flower names have different meanings. I know a few~ like yellow roses mean rememberance. Or maybe the 1st letter of each word in a sentence? I LUV the ones that Sparky already came up with! :)

    i dont get it.

      Ok, what I wanted to say was, this code is pretty cool. Me and my BFF do a code kinda like braille. But, the dots arn’t raised and the dots are in different patterns. It is really hard to come up with a code, hen remeber it, it took about a 3 days to come up with the code and 4 days to remember it all. The code they are using is pretty neat but it would be hard to read it quickly. Me and my BFF read it like it is english, we can tell when we are saying something right away, it’s like we don’t need to decode it. -Straystar◘◘◘

      make one letter 2 letters away from what it is. so A=C, and G=I, and Z=B, etc.
      Webkinz is awesome =
      Ygdmkpb ku cyguqog
      then flip the whole thing backwards…
