xX Cipher Puzzle Xx

This weekend I've been sitting around the computer bored and decided to create a simple Cipher Puzzle. The weather has been horrible and tired of politics etc.


There was a thread on ATS that resparked my interest in ciphers. I'm actually terrible at cipher games, takes me forever to figure them out. I do play lots of crossword puzzles, riddles and a good bit of Sudoku. : ) Static Sky's Cipher Game

I had fun creating this and learned a good deal about ciphers. I now realize there's millions of ways to make a cipher puzzle. There is so much to learn and do, I'm sure to make more. : P

If anyone is bored or like playing cipher games... then here you go. I think it's pretty easy to solve. Your are permitted to find the solution by any means necessary...

"Just curious...how many of my ITsisters and brothers can do this?

Much love and respect."

What's my prize?

I know, but let beginners learn.

Sure, add as many you like....... : )

Love yours, and probably over thinking it...

You know, when I did the hex and morse... cake for me...VASE64, I used a converter.

Point being, how much do we rely on tech these days? Any of you could have googled my posts In less than 10 seconds. Who have we become the we give up our autonomy? To AI no less..

I tried with "ZZI" in the third line from the bottom, "eel" is the only English word that is 3 letters and begins with a double letter... at that point I tapped out and realized this is way beyond any Sunday cryptogram I've ever enjoyed and confusing enough to be difficult beyond enjoyment.

You are one of the few I respect...Google it...better yet, use DuckDuckGo...

Peace my friend...

Ah, encryption. I was looking at this purely as a cryptogram... each individual letter represents a different letter which is identical across the cryptogram.

In that regard, as to your comment on reliance on technology, encryption like your Base64 reference, weren't those a direct product of this technological age? Yes, we have a certain reliance on technology, but in regards to puzzles or equations that only exist because of that technology, it's a chicken or the egg issue. Even within the technology there is an inequality of understanding or ability gap. Standard computers can't resolve the same complexity of problems as quantum computers, the whole Polynomial Hierarchy within classical computers is limited while it is much less constrained in quantum computers. The human brain is a computer, and as such there will be things we need the additional power of computers to resolve within whatever window of time we are willing to allot for solving the problem. You used the tools at your disposal because you didn't feel this was important enough to dedicate hours, days, weeks, or years to solve with a pen and paper.

Yeah, it's not like those cryptograms where you start off with several hints and letters.

However, I tried to make it easy for anyone to solve. If I was to give any hints it would be solved in minutes.

After playing PennyPress all morning... thought I'd create a Dial-A-Gram clone. : )
I'd say this one is pretty easy.

Each number represents one of the letters shown on the phone dial pad. A number is not necessarily the same letter each time.
