FAQ for the Online Secret Code Puzzle
How does the secret code puzzle work?
A secret message is written entirely in symbols. Each symbol stands for a specific letter of the alphabet. At the bottom of the puzzle you will find the Code Key, which shows every symbol next to its corresponding letter. Use the key to decode the message symbol by symbol.
How do I enter a letter for a symbol?
Click on the symbol you want to decode. It will be highlighted to show it is selected. Then simply type the letter you think it represents — it will appear above the symbol in the message.
How do I move between symbols?
After typing a letter the cursor automatically moves to the next symbol. You can also navigate manually using the left and right cursor (arrow) keys on your keyboard.
How do I delete a letter I typed incorrectly?
Press the Backspace or Delete key to erase the letter above the currently selected symbol, then type the correct letter.
Can I create my own secret code puzzle?
