RAIL FENCE CIPHER INSTRUCTIONS

What is a Rail Fence Cipher?

The Rail Fence Cipher, also known as the zigzag cipher, is a type of transposition cipher.

How to Solve

When solving the Rail Fence Cipher, the player is given an encrypted message and a amount of rails. The groups of scrambled words are assmbled according to the rows, which has already been done in the game. To decrypt the message, the player will need read down and up each row, like a zigzag!

Example

rails: 3

encrypted message: hloro eoweu lhayx

cipher

decrypted message: hello how are you
