Friend sent me a cipher and I'm having trouble deciding it. Here it is:

Iwy qugl pw lahk ek pw vwhk anb lwvb

U quvv nkkb a flxagk pw gfkam ag Cwvb

Jkiwnb plk Oykkn

Jktwxk plk Tunav Glafk

qlap Tkvv

I know the capital letters are the answer, but I can't seem to figure it out. The only hint I was given is that it has to do with a game we both play.

Edit: Thank you all for the help! 💚

Stuff about the cipher/code: It's very unique as far as I'm aware. Probably pretty weak, but in order to decrypt it, you might need to think outside the box. There are quite a few different ways (Theoretically infinite although practically not so much) ways I could have set it up, so keep on trying. I'll probably post a hint if nobody figures it out very fast.

Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt = 3626

Felix felicis = 3210

It's from a game. Just need to find a method/key, by which I translate the sentence to the numbers. Tried everything that came to my mind, no success. Both examples should work by the same principle. Any ideas?

Can someone smarter than me explain?

Try decrypting this non-random, relatively easy cipher to unlock a 4-digit safe:

Difficulty 1/10

"1elw 00000001000000000000000100000011"

Here is some hints

numbers -> times -> ^(-1) -> first 100 digits

Good luck,

I wish I had more information to share. The good of many relies on deciphering the message embedded in this code

With puzzle hunts that offer a prize, you usually have no way to check that the answer stayed the same throughout, or that the prize is real. If you're going to spend weeks on a cipher, that matters.

ProofOfSolve is built around fixing that. Each puzzle hides the seed words to a funded Bitcoin wallet, and the fastest correct solver wins the prize. A SHA-256 fingerprint of the answer is published before anyone plays. The answer is revealed after the win, so anyone can hash it and confirm it never changed. The prize wallet address is published at launch, so you can check it yourself on a public explorer such as mempool.space.

The puzzles use chained layers, ciphers invented for each puzzle rather than standard ones, and real-world clues found on Google Street View. You can use any tool you like, including AI chatbots. You don't need to know anything about crypto to play.

Some details on how it works:

Entries are timestamped to the millisecond, and the first correct entry wins. Each player gets a limited number of guesses per day.

Smaller puzzles are free to play and have smaller BTC prizes. Bigger puzzles are paid. Prize amounts will be announced at launch.

The winner restores the wallet in Electrum using a passphrase sent by ProofOfSolve, then moves the prize to their own wallet.

Players must be 18 or over, and paid puzzles aren't open in some US states.

There's also a free seed word lookup that runs in your browser. It checks words against BIP39 in 10 languages, SLIP39, old Electrum and Monero.

No puzzles are live yet. The first ones open soon, and there's an email signup if you want to be notified: https://Proofofsolve.com

A question for people here who make or solve ciphers: is publishing the answer's hash in advance enough to make a contest like this trustworthy to you? Or is there something else you'd want to see before putting real time into one?

Cosa dice questa?

Hi! I’m pretty new to making ciphers and puzzles, but I’d love to use them in a horror story I’m writing for r/TalesFromTheCreeps (inspired by House of Leaves) I’d really appreciate some feedback from people who know more about this stuff than I do!

Do these puzzles feel interesting and satisfying to solve, or are they too boring, confusing, or difficult for someone who isn’t familiar with ciphers? I’d love to hear your honest thoughts!

This is the previous part of the story that I will be using these. there are also some ciphers in both the post and comment.

I've found abandoned in a park, a mysterious ciphered book called Manuscripta Gammae II.

I don't know who is the writer and what is its objective.

So, I did a little bit of research and found a Youtube video explaining this text (https://youtu.be/Gq4mcGFkx5s?si=DpRTdKZ_Fg-sCK4q).

The channel is called Gamma 9497 and has some videos for many puzzles, including the part 1 of this book.

Someone help me decipher this book? I really don't know what's going on...

P.S- Better quality images is attached on the post.

The build above the text is the Santa Maria Novella, built by alberti, so im very confident it's an alberti cipher. The image below is the Wikipedia logo.
