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?

    On email if you write in white letters than the person who gets the email has to highlight the words with their mouse.
    Another code is write the words with the same first and last letter in the right place but then mix up the other letters.

    Me and my sister invented a code using symbols. So I LOVE WEBKINZ would be Ice cream, lion, octopus, violin, egg, whale, egg, bumblebee, king, ice cream, night, zebra. Cool, huh? :mrgreen:

    I think the every second letter one is creative.
    Try to figure this out:
