What is a cipher?
A cipher is a method of transforming information—usually text—into a secret code. It hides the original message, making it readable only to those who know how to decode it. From ancient empires to wartime intelligence, ciphers have been used for thousands of years to conceal secrets, pass hidden messages, and challenge curious minds.
There are two main types:
Substitution Ciphers – where each letter is swapped for another (like the famous Caesar Cipher).
Transposition Ciphers – where the order of letters is rearranged.
In The Ciphyr Mysteries, ciphers aren’t just puzzles—they’re keys to the truth, each one unlocking a deeper layer of the story. Some are simple. Some are designed to make you sweat. But each one holds a piece of the larger mystery.
Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned codebreaker, every cipher solved brings you one step closer to the truth.
