C5 Reveals The Secret To Deciphering The Dots, Dashes And Slashes

Yes, I finally decided to reveal how the Dots, Dashes and Slashes work.

Yes, there is a pattern. I almost always use a pattern when creating ciphers. The only time I don't like (or prefer not) to pattern is when I make crafts.

Since I don't have much of a strong memory, this hobby tells me I need to pattern.

It's actually VERY EASY. It might surprise you how easy it is.

Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid. Two of them. And an X. Two of them also.

In the first tic-tac-toe grid fill up the spaces from A-I like this:

A B C
D E F
G H I

Then on the 2nd grid, letters J-R:

J K L
M N O
P Q R

Then on the 2 Xs:

S
T U
V

and

W
X Y
Z


Now imagine the first grid. 'A' is in the left-facing right angle. Get the points and turn into dots.

'B' has 4 ends but turn it into 3 by making a vortex like a 'V' so you have 3 dots in the form of a 'V' actually.

'C' faces the right like an 'L' so you just get the points and make dots forming an 'L' (can you see where it's going?).

When you reach letter 'E' that is represented with one dot at the center.

Are you following?

When it comes to the second grid, change dots into dashes.

The Xs are a bit different.

S is like a double quote
T is slanted to the left
U is slanted to the right
V is like an equal sign

From W to Z, just insert a dot at the center like W would be like |·| :)

Clear?

Now you can amaze your offline friends....or enemies :D
