    Can I use number code instead of alphabet?
    Community Answer
    No because unless you pre-coded, you will just have numbers that mean nothing.

  • Question
    How do I decipher numerical codes? Do I search for the most common ones?
    Community Answer
    Make the inner ones in the smaller circle numbers 1-26 instead of letters. Make sure they are still at the same angle or if everything to be numbers, just replace everything with numbers 1-26.

    How do I use a cipher wheel?
    Ansel Leonard
    Community Answer
    You can use a Caesar cipher wheel by rotating the outer wheel until the inner 'A' aligns with another letter. To encrypt, read from the inner wheel to the outer wheel; to decrypt, do the opposite.

  • Question
    How large should the diameter of the circles be?
    Ansel Leonard
    Community Answer
    The size doesn't usually matter, but make sure one circle is smaller than the other so you can see the letters.
