Decoder Challenge β€” October 2026

A secret security tip is hidden below. Every letter has been shifted the same number of places along the alphabet (a Caesar cipher, named after Julius Caesar, who is reported to have used a version of it; a computer breaks it instantly, which is why it is only a puzzle).

Clue: the shift equals the number of letters in the word CYBER. Shift each letter back that many places to decode it (so a coded F becomes A).

Use the strip below: under the letter F write A, under G write B, and keep going, wrapping around at the end. Then decode each coded letter.
