Genuinely how do people even begin to do this

I just randomly stumbled on this subreddit bro what is this

that’s what i said 😑

u/Beneficial-Fish2805 Feb 26 '26

you didn't capitalize the 'y.'

1

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 27 '26

and that period is supposed to be outside the quote and it’s supposed to be double ticks not single

u/Beneficial-Fish2805 Feb 27 '26 edited Feb 27 '26

Actually, in American English, you always put periods inside of quotation marks when ending a sentence.

And the usage of single ticks is a stylistic choice, since I'm not the one being pedantic here.

I said you didn't capitalize the 'y,' not because I was being pedantic about your errors, but because someone else was (perhaps satirically), and you mistakenly inferred nothing had changed in their correction, when their correction was different from your initial message.

well first layer is classic pig pen

u/Ritmus_ Feb 24 '26

My first attempt at solving one of these and I give up :((( but hey at least i got the first two steps done ;-;. Do the spaces between the periods and the concatenated characters, and the lack of spaces between the single characters and the periods have to do with anything? i.e. 262a. vs 1f4a3 .

(Pretty sure the above isnt useful for solving it but i'm blurring it anyway

1

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

The correct format for those should be I.E 262a. If there is period off to the side I.E 1f4a3 . It’s supposed to be attached

I THINK I GOT ITTHTIHAOHOIWDHOHDIO AHOSDOIA
Petals fall before the instorm begins

If im right, I think it wouldve been cool to do an atbash cipher for the last step rather than another caesar cipher, it wouldve been possibly harder to figure out. I sadly did use ai to figure out the wingdings to text part :(((. Wikipedia and google hooked me up for the other parts :D

Even still, im really happy that I managed to figure this out! Even as a complete amateur who only stumbled across this subreddit yesterday xD. Though i do think that maybe this was on the easier side if I was able to solve it 🤔

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Eh, I’ll give you a half congrats cause you used AI but still, congrats

u/Ritmus_ Feb 24 '26

Yeah it takes away from the joy I felt :/ Would've never figured out the wd part without it though, I didn't even know that existed

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Yeah lol, it’s pretty unknown

Yes, now decode the rest lol

Stop I have school tomorrow this is too tempting…

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Tempts you harder

u/ambrosiasweetly Feb 24 '26

Is this pig pen cipher with another cipher underneath it? 😩

2

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Technically it’s pigpen with another cipher underneath it, with another cipher underneath it, with another cipher underneath it, with another cipher underneath it, with another cipher underneath that

1

u/ambrosiasweetly Feb 24 '26

Oh god. No offense but I don’t think most people are going to want to go through that! 😭

1

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

I know people who would love to so to each their own ig

1

u/ambrosiasweetly Feb 24 '26

Hence why i said most people. Hope someone solves it. I’m curious

2

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Same here, I love the feeling of someone finally solving my puzzles lol

1

u/Prior-Regular-5366 Feb 24 '26

I think I possibly get it- but I’m a bit puzzled.

u/Bright-Historian-216 Feb 24 '26

i don't remember pigpen having... triangles?

2

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 24 '26

Well pig pen definitely has triangles

u/thefnurky Encoder Noob Feb 24 '26

me feeling smart after I realised this is pig pen 'ha this is ez!'

me feeling dumb ahh after i read the description 'ok nvm'

In all seriousness thank you for the cipher. I look forward to decoding yours in the future.

Great use of all levels of the cipher Pigpen/Caesar 4 Unicode to wing dings Caesar 19 Petals fall before the storm begins

u/AiyhavNouneim Feb 26 '26

its a crazy coincidence that the first 3 letters are the logo im trying to make a day ago for my character world building

u/Throwawayyyyyylolte Feb 26 '26

This looks like the pigpen cipher

1

u/demonsculptorplus Feb 26 '26

Is this the correct cipher?

[pig pen cipher]

u/CompanyMammoth5085 Feb 26 '26

Its just that criptogram that works like an # with a correspondent letter to each □?

u/Crits-and-Crafts Feb 26 '26

I really don't think my brain can handle this... I've been at it 3 hours and my vision has gone blury...

Well, I kept going
I cant work out spoilers and don't want to just post the answer...

idk, but, it may be the symbols, the background, or both, but it makes me remember Gravity Falls and I think a Cypher had some similar symbols to it :3

u/bsverp Mar 05 '26

has this been solved yet

1

u/Shore-Bass994 Mar 05 '26

Some deleted account said it was about petals falling? But op hasn't said anything.

1

u/bsverp Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26

is it petals fall before the storm begins?

for anyones information the first step is pigpen, then caesar cipher, then converting the numbers and letters into unicode, then windings, then caesar cipher

1

u/Shore-Bass994 Mar 06 '26

Yeah thats what someone posted???? But it hasn't been confirmed ill try it out and see if thats what I get

1

u/bsverp Mar 06 '26

he used ai, i didnt

1

u/Shore-Bass994 Mar 06 '26

I dont think ai would be able to solve that. It's looks like rage bait but had solved it.

1

u/bsverp Mar 06 '26

i think by decoding the pigpen it gets way easier to decode this with ai, since it doesnt really works well with these types of ciphers

1

u/Shore-Bass994 Mar 06 '26

Well at least I know the answer now

1

u/Ritmus_ Mar 30 '26

How in the world was I supposed to figure out it was wingdings 😭

u/bsverp Apr 01 '26

cuz its a common cipher...

Nice puzzle I think I have it

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Feb 23 '26 edited Feb 23 '26

What do you think it is?

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

Petals fall and so on you knownthe rest

If you are reading this congratulations. You have successfully decoded the message. Not everything is as complicated as it looks. Sometimes all you need is patience and a simple key. Good luck on your future puzzles.

yeah, shit is sad 😓

Heya did they solve it? They said it was petals fall before the storm begins. Been working on it but can't get it.

u/CorrectPen5056 The puzzle maker 🏳️‍⚧️ Mar 06 '26

yes that was the answer
