Hello, For an article on my website i want to investigate wich codes are the most used in Geoaches?
Does anybody know this, of knows where to look?

It's difficult to say, since, as a rule, revealing the code used in a puzzle cache would defeat the purpose of the puzzle. I don't think there is an official census on the topic, but you could always try to look at a representative sample. I have solved a few thousand mysteries, and just based on my experience, I think the most common encryptions have been binary codes, morse, digital root, rot ciphers, and number puzzles like sudoku. I have no idea how to rank them, but ROT, being the official hint encryption, is very common.

Look here I guess that this ROT-13 is the most used code in geocaching.

 

And the second is letter values A=1 B=2 etc...
