Ciphers

Multiple ciphers have been used to solve Alex's obscure clues. Here's a list of them and how they work.

Atbash
Atbash is a frequently used format of solving clues given by Alex.

It was the first decoding system and was used on the first clue

How it Works
Atbash maps the 26 letters of the Alphabet backwards. [ex: a->z, b->->y]

This online Atbash cipher can be used to automatically decode clues that have been encoded using the cipher.

A1Z26
The A1Z26 cipher is another common cipher used within the clues provided by Alex.

This cipher was used to decode clues given on March 29th and May 12th.

How it Works
A1Z26 is a simple and direct substitution cipher, where each letter is replaced by a number that represents the letter's position in the alphabet.

dCode has a tool that can decode A1Z26 ciphers.
