A modern web application providing interactive tools for solving cryptograms. Built with Astro, React, and TailwindCSS.
Try the demo here!
Ciphers (also known as cryptograms) are a type of puzzle where the goal is to decrypt a message.
The most common type of cipher is the substitution cipher, where each letter in the plaintext is replaced with another letter.
This project focuses on 3 ciphers: the simple substitution cipher (aristocrat), the simple columnar transposition cipher, and the fractionated Morse cipher. It's meant to act as a tool to help solve manually, perhaps with a hint or two to guide you in the right direction. If you're ever looking for any sample puzzles, there's hundreds online - feel free to reach out to me for any more info!
