The Caesar Cipher

Welcome back! Today, we’re looking at our first cipher, starting with the Code of the Day. The Encrypted Message: Copy K H O O R D Q G Z H O F R P H W R F R G H E U H D N L Q J Background: This puzzle uses a simple yet effective cryptographic method known as the Caesar Cipher, named after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his officials. The Caesar Cipher is a substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is shifted a certain number of places down or up the alphabet. For this puzzle, we’ll use a shift of three places to the right. Decoding Instructions: Identify the Shift : For a Caesar Cipher with a shift of two, each letter in the encrypted message moves two places to the left in the alphabet. For example, ‘C’ becomes ‘A,’ ‘D’ becomes ‘B,’ and so on. Apply the Shift : Take each letter in the encrypted message and shift it three places to the left to reveal the plaintext. Reveal the message : Once you've shifted each letter, the hidden message will be revealed...
