* Anagrams--rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase. * Rail Fence Ciphers--where a message is set-off in two lines, alternating letters, then break into sets of letters * Shift Ciphers--also Called Caesar ciphers where there is a shift of number of letters in the alphabet * Masonic cipher/Freemason's cipher--substitution cipher exchanging letters for symbols based on a grid. * Twisted Path Ciphers--use a keyword to determine the order columns of letters are arranged in, according to the relative alphabetic position of the letters in the keyword, so KITE = 3241 (K is 3rd in alphabetical order within the word, I is 2nd, T is 4th, and E comes 1st), WRIGHT (= GHIRTW in alphabetical order) = 643125. * Double level Ciphers--by solving one cryptogram you get a keyword, which then allows you to crack the encryption on a different kind of puzzle. * In addition, a chapter is devoted to messages that, when decoded, add to an overall 'mystery' which can be revealed when the entire book is decoded.
