Substitution and Index

Substitution

Anything can be replaced by numbers.

  • Look for group of 6/10/14/15 digits. If you have a large amount of items, you are looking for a text message, not numbers.
  • Alphabet
  • Atom numbers of elements
  • Change keyboard layouts (including Dvorak)
  • Use a different font (Symbols, WingDings, …)
  • Substitute arbitrarly and go through a cryptogram
