Cryptography/More Simple Substitution Cyphers
< CryptographySimple Shifts (A->B B->C, A->Z Z->Y)
With simple shifts, A could equal any of the other 25 letters of the alphabet, eg C, and B could equal the letter before or after that, in this case it would have to be D.
For example,
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZAB
would mean that Z = B and O = Q and "Wikiversity" would become "Ykmkxgtukva."
Here's another example:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY
In the above cypher, each letter now equals its preceding letter. B now equals A, P now equals O and "Wikiversity" has become "Vhjhudqrhsx."
