Can anyone crack this code?

I need help. Can anyone crack this code ?

Could you give some details as to how you've encountered this code, what do you expect the answer to be, what do you know about the person who wrote it etc.? Cracking a code can be very much like cracking a password, you crack the person not the password itself. Otherwise that can be literally anything

It's basically all of the letters in the alphabet shifted by a certain number e.g. number 3 means A -> D i.e. 3 letters down.

What that number is a can't be bothered to figure out, good luck with that.

not necessarily, that's why it kind of matters who wrote this code. If it's your average 10th grader for example then that would be a good assumption to make and all that's left is to try out a lot of combinations until a valid result comes up. Otherwise i don't know if it's worth the effort of doing that.

Hint: it’s not worth it.

Then why do you care enough for someone to try and help you?

If thats true then just put the code into any old 'caesar cipher decoder' online and u get it

If each letter is shifted by a different number, then its a vigenere (for which this message is too short to crack) or a one time pad, which is impossible to crack (unless you send 2 messages with the same encryption).

started well until the last word. I got "amazing cherry blossom cffd" following the atbash decoding

I’ve tried basically all types of ciphers to break it and it’s just not working also it’s not a caesar cipher. thank you to everyone who is trying to help me :smile:

Also it’s part of the second stage of cyber discovery program the challenges have been quite simple so far and I think this one is as well but I just can’t seem to figure out the code. The briefing for the challenge says that it might be a meet-up location.
