Today’s Cipher Challenge: On August 4, 2024, the Hamster Kombat Daily Cipher is based on Morse code. Players who successfully decode today’s cipher can earn up to 1,000,000 coins. The word to decode today is “SCRYPT.”
Decoding the Cipher: To solve today’s cipher, players need to enter the Morse code for the word “SCRYPT” in the game. Here is the Morse code sequence for each letter:
- S: ••• (dot dot dot)
- C: —•—• (dash dot dash dot)
- R: •—• (dot dash dot)
- Y: —•—— (dash dot dash dash)
- P: •——• (dot dash dash dot)
- T: — (dash)
How to Enter the Code:
- Open the Hamster Kombat game and navigate to the “Daily Cipher” section.
- Enter the Morse code by tapping on the hamster as follows:
- For “S”: tap tap tap
- For “C”: hold tap hold tap
- For “R”: tap hold tap
- For “Y”: hold tap hold hold
- For “P”: tap hold hold tap
- For “T”: hold
What other types of ciphers are used in Hamster Kombat?
Hamster Kombat uses a variety of ciphers to keep the daily challenges engaging and diverse. Here are some of the common types of ciphers you might encounter:
Caesar Cipher: This is a substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is shifted a certain number of places down or up the alphabet.
Vigenère Cipher: This cipher uses a keyword to shift letters in the plaintext. Each letter in the keyword determines the shift for the corresponding letter in the plaintext.
Atbash Cipher: A simple substitution cipher where each letter of the alphabet is mapped to its reverse (e.g., A becomes Z, B becomes Y).
Rail Fence Cipher: A form of transposition cipher that writes the plaintext in a zigzag pattern on an imaginary fence, then reads it off row by row.
Playfair Cipher: This cipher encrypts pairs of letters (digraphs) using a 5x5 grid of letters constructed using a keyword.
Morse Code: As seen in today’s challenge, Morse code uses sequences of dots and dashes to represent letters and numbers.
Pigpen Cipher: A geometric simple substitution cipher which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid.
ROT13: A special case of the Caesar cipher where the shift is 13 places. It is often used in online forums for obscuring spoilers.
These ciphers add an extra layer of fun and complexity to the game, ensuring that players need to use different strategies and skills to decode the daily challenges. Have you tried any of these ciphers before?
