Signals intelligence intercepted a short transmission near Alex's last known location, written using the Tifinagh alphabet — the script used to write Amazigh (Berber) languages across North Africa. Every English letter has been swapped for a Tifinagh symbol, and it's always the same symbol for the same letter throughout the whole message — so once you correctly work out one symbol, every other place it appears will update automatically. Spaces and punctuation haven't been touched.
Click any symbol below to jump to it in the solve list, or just scroll down and work through the list directly.
Each card below is one unique symbol from the transmission, with how many times it appears. Use the arrows to cycle through the alphabet, then press Lock once you're confident — that locks in that letter everywhere the symbol shows up above.
Once every symbol is locked and the decoded line reads properly, type it into the box below exactly as it reads (not case sensitive). Locking every letter will also fill this box in for you.
This exercise uses real letters from the Tifinagh script as a substitution alphabet, shifted by a fixed amount so it can't just be read directly by a tool that knows real Tifinagh spelling. Because the substitution is fixed — the same letter always becomes the same symbol — this behaves exactly like a classic cryptogram: cracking one symbol cracks every occurrence of it at once, which is what makes cryptograms solvable by hand using word shapes, common short words, and letter-frequency patterns, without needing to know anything about cryptography going in.
