SpyCoder shows beginning coders how ciphers (codes) can be created. It uses a substitution ciper with a key word. The key word is inserted at the beginning of the alphabet -- creating a new alphabet.

After the message is encoded - by entering the message and a key word and clicking the "Encrypt" button - the writer can see how the code was created. Selecting the "See the code!" button displays a page showing the alphabet along with the encoded version. The first 20 words of both the message and the cipher are also displayed.

The Key Table displays the last ten key words used.

You can copy the encoded message and use it anywhere or you can go directly to your email program to send the message to a friend.
