## Description

desertcart.com: Creative Crafthouse Mexican Army Cipher Wheel, Wooden 5-Disk Decoder | Working copy of a Mexican Revolution cipher that turns letters into two-digit numbers. Cherry finish, made in Hudson, FL : Toys & Games

## Features

- Set a secret key by turning the four number disks, then swap each letter for one of the 3 or 4 numbers in its column. Anyone with a wheel and your key can turn the numbers back into words.
- There are 456,976 ways to set the wheel, and every letter can be written several different ways. That makes it a harder code to crack than a cipher wheel that only shifts the alphabet.
- This is a wooden reproduction of the Mexican Army Cipher Disk, a cipher used during the Mexican Revolution. U.S. Army codebreakers read an intercepted message sent with one in 1916.
- Creative Crafthouse cuts the five cherry-veneer disks and laser engraves every number in its Hudson, Florida workshop. At 5.75 inches across, the wheel sits on a desk and reads clearly at a glance.
- A Christmas gift for the history buff or code lover. Each wheel comes with instructions, three secret messages to crack without the key (hints and answers on the back) and a worksheet. Ages 14+.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big is the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel?**
A: The Mexican Army Cipher Wheel is 5.75 inches across and 1 inch tall and weighs 7 ounces. Every number reads at a glance, and it sits well on a desk or shelf.

**Q: What comes in the box?**
A: The assembled cipher wheel, an instruction sheet with a worked example and three secret messages to crack without the key (hints, keys and answers on the back), and a worksheet for writing your own messages.

**Q: How is it different from a cipher wheel that shifts the alphabet?**
A: A shift wheel swaps each letter for another letter. This wheel turns each letter into one of 3 or 4 two-digit numbers, set by four disks with 456,976 possible settings, so a letter does not always look the same.

**Q: Do I need two wheels to send messages?**
A: One wheel writes and reads messages. The person you send a message to needs their own wheel and the same key to read it, which is why many people buy a pair.

**Q: What is the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel made of?**
A: Each disk is MDF faced with real cherry veneer, laser cut and laser engraved by Creative Crafthouse in Hudson, Florida. The base is 1/4 inch thick, the number disks and cap 1/8 inch, and the raised cap brings it to 1 inch tall.
