  • Question
    Where should I keep the paper that I have written the codes on if I tend to be very forgetful?
    Community Answer
    Keep it somewhere really secret. But put sticky notes in places where you go most often that say a particular word or phrase related to the place where you hid your stuff. Try your best to hide the stickies, and don't make the word or phrase too obvious to anyone else.
  • Question
    What if I mess up while writing in code?
    Community Answer
    Write on another sheet of paper, then read it over to make sure everything is correct before transferring the writing to your diary. Or, just use pencil so you can erase if you make a mistake.
  • Question
    Should I write the entire diary in code?
    Community Answer
    It's up to you! If you want your entire diary to stay private, then I would write all of it in code.
  • Question
    What should I do if I used the scrambled letters method but the scrambled letters formed a curse word and my parents found it?
    Community Answer
    Explain to your parents what happened and show them your code. They might want you to tell them the real word for proof.
  • Question
    What if someone knows the code and starts snooping?
    Community Answer
    Then make up a new one. For example, turn every letter into a weird symbol. If they've already snooped, tell them to stop reading, since it is private and none of their business.

    You can use a diary that has a lock. But some people can pick locks. Maybe you can stick it behind your bed and use a bag to cover it. Or, write in a computer file, this is harder to find.

    Then make up a new code. You know the one way no one ever will figure it out? Do an entirely different code every entry! But I really don't recommend that unless you have a photographic memory or some form of remembering. That sort of thing takes a lot of time.

    This is a confusing code at first, but no. Many people use this as a code, so it will be obvious quickly.

    No, you don't have to. Just keep your diary in a good hiding spot if you want to keep it secret.
