Perguntas Frequentes

What is the A1Z26 cipher?
A1Z26 is a simple substitution code where each letter is replaced by its position in the Latin alphabet: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on up to Z=26. It is widely used in puzzles and escape rooms.
How are words separated in A1Z26?
In the encoded output, letters within a word are separated by dashes (e.g., H-E-L-L-O = 8-5-12-12-15) and words are separated by spaces or slashes (e.g., 8-5-12-12-15 / 23-15-18-12-4).
Does A1Z26 support Cyrillic or other alphabets?
The standard A1Z26 cipher is defined for the Latin alphabet only. Cyrillic and other alphabets do not have a universal number assignment.
Is A1Z26 secure?
No. A1Z26 is trivially breakable because there are only 26 possible values per letter and the mapping is fixed. It offers no security and is only used for games and puzzles.
How do I decode an A1Z26 message?
Split the message by dashes to get individual numbers. Look up each number in the table (1=A, 2=B … 26=Z). Slashes or spaces between groups indicate word boundaries.
