## Overview

The Retroworks Secret Cipher Decoder Wheel is a compact, solid wood educational tool featuring 12 engraved disks that rotate around a spindle to encode and decode secret messages.

## Description

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. 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. For example - HAPPYBDAYJOE Slowly turning the entire spindle will show row after row of random scrambled letters. For example - 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!!!!

Review: Particpants tell me they enjoy the cipher - I bought this and created a geocache around this cipher. Two coordinate digits were missing and geocachers had to use the code to have the cipher spell out the last two numbers. Particpants tell me they enjoy the cipher. Dials are perfect for turning. They are not too tight nor are they loose and wiggly. Well worth the price. Sturdy construction! I am a very happy customer and would order this again.
Review: Super impressed with the quality of this cryptex-like device - Super impressed with the quality of this cryptex-like device. I'm using it for a treasure hunt for several teams of adults and I like this thing so much I'm going to order several more so each team can have their own. I tried to make a similar items several years ago and was frustrated by the difficulty of getting it all to line up and move smoothly. This is so well-crafted, and not too expensive; it's a much wiser use of my time to just order one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this cipher help reveal government secrets?**
A: Yes,  provided that the secrets are at least 230 years old.

**Q: Hey there, are you able to build one with numbers and letters? 9 Rings total**
A: There are 12 rings in total. Sorry but we do not custom them with 9 rings.

**Q: What characters are on each wheel? Are there letters and numbers?**
A: Yes, both letters and numbers!

**Q: Can two or more be joined together to make it longer?**
A: I don’t think so. Increasing the number of wheels by doubling them doesn’t seem to make any sense to me anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Tool For Creating Coded Messages Which Are Impossible To Crack
*by L***T on November 6, 2017*

This device comes with 12 wheels. I took away one star because they are very difficult to turn independently. Maybe over time they will move more easily, I don't know. Each wheel has all 26 letters of the alphabet, and a single number. The first wheel has a 0, the second wheel has a 1, and so on up to the tenth wheel which has a 9. The eleventh wheel has a Delta symbol (triangle). The twelfth wheel has an Omega symbol (ohm). The letters are randomly mixed on each wheel, with no two wheels having the same order of letters. But again, each wheel has the entire alphabet. The ends of this device can be unscrewed to mix up the wheels. You can put Wheel 0 in the third position, and Wheel 6 in the second position, and so forth. Then reassemble the device. The receiver of the coded message will have to put their wheels in the same numerical order. Your message can only be 12 characters, not counting spaces. There are no spaces on the wheels. The decoder will have to place the spaces in the message based on context. Turn the wheels to spell out your message, then send the letters on the line above or below the clear text. The receiver will turn their wheels to the coded text, and then read the clear text on the line below or above the coded text. Simple, but very hard to crack without a comparable device.
