Beale Cipher
The Beale Cipher, similar to the Book Cipher, uses a book or any large length of text to encode and decode messages. To write a message using the Beale Cipher you have to find a word that has the same first letter as the letter you want to encode. For example the word if the 20th word in your book was "Fancy" and you wanted to write "After Midnight" you would replace the "F" with "20."
A small example with the text on this page would be "7 13 34 6 8 77 15 43 4."
If you counted out all the words including the numbers you would get "Best Codes" as your message.
To decode messages just do the opposite of this.
