How A1Z26 works

A1Z26 is a simple letter-to-number substitution system where each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet. In English, A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on until Z=26.

During encoding, text is converted into a sequence of numbers. During decoding, the numbers are converted back into letters using the selected alphabet.

A1Z26 is commonly used in educational exercises, puzzles, treasure hunts, escape rooms, and beginner cryptography challenges.

FAQ

Yes. You can choose either dash, space, comma, slash, dot in settings depending on your input format.

Unsupported symbols are kept as-is in encode mode and passed through in decode mode.

No. It is a simple substitution notation and should be used for learning or puzzle tasks.

A1Z26 is usually considered a simple substitution notation rather than a secure cipher. It replaces letters with their alphabet positions.

A1Z26 is often used in puzzles, educational activities, treasure hunts, escape rooms, and introductory cryptography exercises.

Yes. The tool supports multiple delimiters including spaces, commas, slashes, dots, and dashes.
