A secret way of writing, called tri code, can hide the meaning of your messages.If the information is sensitive, it's perfect for note passing.It doesn't take much time to learn.With a little bit of effort, you'll soon be writing, reading, and attempting variations in Tri Code.
Step 1: Pick the message you want to convey.
You need to come up with a message before you can translate it into Tri Code.The message "Welcome to the jungle" will be translated into Tri Code for the purpose of providing a guided example.While you're still learning to write in Tri Code, you may want to start with shorter messages.Longer messages will become easier as you become more practiced.
Step 2: The first part of the message should be translated.
In Tri Code, the letters of your message will be broken up into groups of three letter segments.The first segment is "Lew" because "Wel" are the first three letters.The segments are usually separated by a space.It is more difficult for others to see the pattern of your Tri Code cipher if the letters are not the same.It is likely that you will need to write down your translated message in order to remember it.If Tri Code is familiar to you, you may be able to translate it in your head.
Step 3: Encode your next segment.
The next segment begins where you left off.Write the next three letters in reverse.The example would be "moc."Your ciphered message should now read "Lew moc."
Step 4: Continue taking segments at a time.
Words can be divided into three letter segments.When this happens, complete your three letter segment with letters from the next word, then write it in reverse.The 'e' at the end of "welcome" will combine with the next two letters of the word "to" to create a segment.This is written in a different way to get the Tri Code.If you have three segments translated into Tri Code, you will get a partially translated message, "Lew moc ote."
Step 5: It is necessary to maintain punctuation.
The Tri Code cipher is only intended to be applied to letters, so any punctuation, like apostrophes, should be kept with the letter it punctuates.So, for a question like "What's that?"Will it be "Ahw ts't tah?""Ahw t'st tah?"It is a matter of preference if you put apostrophes before or after the letter.To prevent confusion, you may want to stick to one or the other.
Step 6: Writing in Tri Code is a good way to practice.
Tri Code will take some practice before it's easy to use.The time it takes to write in Tri Code should decrease as you practice.You can practice reading it now that you can write in Tri Code.
Step 7: There is a need for practice.
If you want to read Tri Code without having to puzzle at it or write it out in English, you'll need to practice decoding it.Writing and reading use different parts of the brain.It doesn't mean that you can read it well.
Step 8: You can find a partner.
A practice partner is necessary to improve your Tri Code reading because you already know the meaning of messages you write yourself.You will have to decode the message in order to find out what it is.You can find practice partners at a local or school club.If you can't find a practice partner, you might be able to find Tri Code messages online.
Step 9: Slowly increase the length by reading small sections.
A page full of Tri Code can make you discouraged.As reading becomes easier, increase the length of your messages little by little.You will eventually be able to read large portions of Tri Code without difficulty.Setting clear daily and weekly goals can help you stay consistent with your practice.Writing three short sentences a day is an early goal.Writing a full journal entry in code is a more advanced goal.
Step 10: You should take breaks to prevent mental fatigue.
It takes a lot of mental energy to do something new.You can feel fatigued or mentally exhausted if you practice Tri Code too much.Give your brain a rest day if you start feeling tired.Playing games and reading books can help your brain relax.
Step 11: Pick out the order of your ciphers.
Tri Roman is a combination of two ciphers.You can either apply the Tri Code transformation first or Caesar cipher second.You should apply the cipher completely to the entire message before applying a new cipher.
Step 12: You should transfer your message to Tri Code.
Just as you would normally do, take letters in segments of three from the beginning of your message to the end, then write each segment in reverse.Since you'll be using two ciphers, it's a good idea to write them down.The phrase "Caesar's a genius" will be used to give a guided example for Tri Roman."Eac ras ga's ine su" is what it would be in Tri Code.
Step 13: The Caesar cipher is used.
You can use your next cipher now that your message is in Tri Code.Caesar cipher is a shift cipher that replaces letters in your message with a new letter a fixed number of positions away in the alphabet.The alphabet from A - Z is laid out before you.A left shift of three would replace D's in your original message with an B, J, and H.You can either shift to the left or right as you please.Continue shifting from end to end if you reach the beginning of the alphabet.A becomes Y and Z becomes B with the left and right shifts.Shift ciphers should only shift letters in one direction.You should never shift left and right at the same time.The Tri Roman code message "Cya pyq ey'q glc qs" is given by using a Caesar cipher with a left shift of three.
Step 14: You should swap the order of your ciphering.
It is possible to write out messages in Tri Code before applying the Caesar Cipher.You could do Caesar Cipher first and then Tri Code.Try to find what works best for you.An example of Tri Roman code with a left shift of three would be: Caesar's a genius.
