geoawareUSA9 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I removed the specific code from your post. There are many good decryption resources out there. I've found that this cipher identifier page can often be used to determine what type of encryption is being used for a particular puzzle. Asking the cache owner for a hint is often helpful as well. 4 Quote Link to comment

[code removed by moderator] Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day! Look for clues on the page. For example, if there's a mention of "the key". Some ciphers use a key word. But the puzzle may be unique, where the challenge is to figure out "where to start". Look at the Difficulty rating. If it's 3.5 or higher, prepare to attack this one with your game face on. You may first try easier puzzle caches, especially puzzles by the same Cache Owner. Some ciphers are more common for Geocache puzzles. Look for nearby "Puzzle Cache" Events or even "Geocaching 101" or meet & greet Events. If you can talk to the CO or others at an Event about where you're stuck, they may help. Good luck! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
