Letters only, case does not matter

Plaintext

Ciphertext

Vigenere held up for three centuries but is not secure today. A repeating key leaks its own length to frequency analysis, and Kasiski examination breaks it on paper. Use it for puzzles, teaching and games, never for anything you actually need kept private.

About Vigenere Cipher

Encrypt and decrypt text with the Vigenere cipher using any keyword, and see exactly how the repeating key lines up against your message.

Key Features

Encrypts and decrypts with any alphabetic keyword, in both directions
Preserves letter case, spaces, digits and punctuation instead of flattening everything to capitals
The key advances only on letters, so message shape and word breaks survive intact
Shows the key stream lined up under your text so the shift per letter is visible
Handles large inputs without freezing, and runs client-side with no signup

Use Cases

Solving or setting a puzzle, escape room clue or treasure hunt
Teaching polyalphabetic substitution and why it beats a single Caesar shift
Decoding a Vigenere message when you already know the keyword
Comparing the output against a Caesar cipher to see what the changing shift buys
Coursework on classical cryptography and Kasiski examination
