oops, that first part should be: ” A=0, B=1 etc.”

Here is a (confusing) method to encode CLOCK to MZFPK using the word GLOOM in a running key sequence. First perform a Ceasar shift of -2 on GLOOM to get EJMMK. Get the indices of EJMMK from a “reverse...

The sequence SPEEDE can encode BERLIN as follows: Perform Ceasar shift on SPEEDE to obtain AXMMLM. Convert the letters from a KRYPTOSABC alphabet to an ABC alphabet to get HYSSRS. (This is easy to do...

I have read a lot of this blob, but I ran into something today that seemed odd and maybe its covered here but I haven’t seen it. Take a look at the following: If you take the cypher text and remove the...

While contemplating some “masking” techniques, I tried the following: First, express the plain-text letters as their sequence number in a KYPTOSABC.. alphabet BERLINCLOCK = (8, 11, 1, 17, 15, 19, 9,...

The sample in the photo has a letter-number combination stamped on it as well as a 4 digit year stamp. Perhaps the one Sanborn saw had similar markings which he incorporated somehow as clues. The...

I went further with the idea, there are 8 categories of letters in Morse. Bobby Fischer invented a chess timing idea in the 90’s (clock?) could these be chess moves in his famous confrontation with...

According to Wikipedia, it’s called a chess clock

This is my favorite post on this site. This idea was pursued quite extensively about 11 years ago. BTW, I think I know what YR in the Morse Code is, if anyone is interested.

I think “YR” is an incomplete “KYR” as seen in K1 – not unlike “interpretation” in the Morse Code, which is also incomplete. KYR decrypts to “QLU” – a clue. Knowing this is very useful for what to...

This is a musical idea. If I label the Morse categories with numbers 1=a,n 2-=K,w,g 3=j,Y,q 4-=d,u,R 5=c,x,P,z 6=b,f,l,V 7=e,i,S,h 8=T,m,O You would have Kryptos 5(V), in music 8 is the same as 1, so...

I’ll take this a step further. I think QLU is useful for how k4 is masked. First, if QLU is CLUE, could DIGETAL be DIG (whitespace) TALE INTERPRETATION (K3)? Could DETAILS EMERGED FROM THE MIST X be...

I tried adding “Yellow Brick Road” to the beginning of K-4 OBKRUOXOGHULBSO YELLOWBRICKROAD (NG)(UD) J(K)L Z (G)PK (F)D (QTS) The G is actually F and the F is G and QTS is TQS but that is really close...

It also appears that it is in alternating groups of 7 so the initial (?) must be number 1 ?

So I’m using these weird masks – finding positions. One of them is the H in between YA and R- the raised letters. It’s RAY. The candle caused the flame to flicker. Also the A in desparatly is a...
