Fully functional wooden cypher wheel. Natural finish. Twelve wooden disks, with engraved characters in a random order, rotate around a wooden spindle. The sequence of the disks is fixed. Turning theses disks allows words to be scrambled and unscrambled; thus, secret message can be coded and decoded.
- Solid Wood Craftmanship
- Educational
- Easy to use (but hard to decode!) Comes with detailed instructions
Detailed instructions: Starting from the left, spell out the message you want to create by rotating each disk to line up the letters of your message.
Let's use HAPPYBDAYJOE
Slowly turning the entire spindle will show row after row of random scrambled letters. One row for example will show KEMSNFPQNZPE
This is your encrypted message. You may now scramble up the entire cylinder. The person to decode the message realigns the scrambled message "KEMSNFPQNZPE" As they slowly rotate the cylinder, scanning each row, the message "HAPPYBDAYJOE" will be readily apparent. FUN!!!!
