The Cipher

The Cipher · 2026-11-01

The System has issued today's passphrase in a letter-substitution code: every letter of the alphabet has been swapped for another, consistently, for the whole day. The alphabet is shuffled again every game day, so yesterday's key is no help today — a substitution that worked twelve hours ago reads as nonsense now. No letter is ever swapped for itself — so if a letter looks like it belongs there, that is not a coincidence and not a typo.
The passphrases are drawn from the books: names, places and invented words are fair game, so a correct decode can read like a spelling mistake.
Break it and the System admits you did something right. +150 XP, once per day.
Three assists a day, 30 XP each out of that reward: reveal a letter, or show what you had — which of your guessed letters were in the right place. Wrong guesses stay free.
