## Overview

The Retroworks Secret Cipher Decoder Wheel - Jefferson Wheel is a compact, handcrafted wooden puzzle featuring 12 engraved disks that rotate around a spindle to encode and decode secret messages. With detailed instructions included, it offers an engaging, educational experience perfect for puzzle enthusiasts and anyone looking to add a vintage twist to their game collection.

## Description

Fully functional wooden cypher wheel. Natural finish. Twelve wooden disks, with engraved characters in a random order, rotate around a wooden spindle. The sequence of the disks is fixed. Turning theses disks allows words to be scrambled and unscrambled; thus, secret message can be coded and decoded. Detailed instructions: Starting from the left, spell out the message you want to create by rotating each disk to line up the letters of your message. For example - HAPPYBDAYJOE Slowly turning the entire spindle will show row after row of random scrambled letters. For example - KEMSNFPQNZPE This is your encrypted message. You may now scramble up the entire cylinder. The person to decode the message realigns the scrambled message "KEMSNFPQNZPE" As they slowly rotate the cylinder, scanning each row, the message "HAPPYBDAYJOE" will be readily apparent. FUN!!!!

Review: My husband is super into codebreaking and ciphers - My husband is super into codebreaking and ciphers, so I got him this as a goofy stocking stuffer. It's so neat that I'm probably gonna steal it back from him. It's just a nifty little way to encrypt notes and things, but it's fun and entertaining. Serves no functional, serious purpose, but it's a really fun way to pass the time and to write silly secret notes. We don't have kids, but it seems like this would be great for kids. Especially kids who like museums and educational stuff.
Review: Works Like it Should - Very nice cipher wheel. Although it doesn't have lines inbetween each letter/number so it's kind of hard to line the charachters up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this cipher help reveal government secrets?**
A: Yes,  provided that the secrets are at least 230 years old.

**Q: Hey there, are you able to build one with numbers and letters? 9 Rings total**
A: There are 12 rings in total. Sorry but we do not custom them with 9 rings.

**Q: What characters are on each wheel? Are there letters and numbers?**
A: Yes, both letters and numbers!

**Q: Can two or more be joined together to make it longer?**
A: I don’t think so. Increasing the number of wheels by doubling them doesn’t seem to make any sense to me anyway.

Very nice cipher wheel. Although it doesn't have lines inbetween each letter/number so it's kind of hard to line the charachters up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Difficult to spin, but still fun
*by S***H on May 31, 2025*

I bought this for a colony all day activity at my school and the students really love it! Fun toy to demonstrate how early Americans "encrypted" their messages. Took off one star because it is really difficult to spin.
