Answer: Walking... JK Rolling! Last week the challenge was to play a game. This week the challenge is to decode this message: OLLP ULI HKIRMT VEVIBDSVIV 1. You have to first figure out how I encoded the message. You can try to see what works or do the technique where you figure out what letters occur the most. Example: The most frequently used letter in the alphabet is "e" followed by "r". Count to find the letter that appears the most and see if you can substitute it for "e" or "r". Write the alphabet on two pieces of paper in alphabetical order. Try shifting the letters to the right or left 1,2, or 3 times to see if you can find the code. *Remember the secret code message from the Great Chocolate Caper? The code will not be random, there will be a rule. 2. Make a cipher (decoder) for it. 3. Decode it and email me your answer! Then, for added fun, invent your own decoder- using letters, numbers, or symbols! Below (highlight and copy/paste or click on the tab) is a website for what and how to do this. https://www.melissaanddoug.com/blogpost?postId=6-secret-codes-for-kids We are moving to Canvas next week!
