1. ABCD efghi

2. hello world

Example (with steps)

1. Route Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Grid width : 4
Write Direction : Horizontal
Read Direction : Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position : Bottom Right
Padding Character : X
Remove Space : false

Solution:

The Route Cipher is a grid-based transposition cipher. Write plaintext into a grid and read it along a route like rows, columns, spiral.

Step-1 : Write
Grid width : 4
Write Direction : Horizontal
Plaintext : ABCD efghi

A	B	C	D
	e	f	g
h	i	X	X

Step-2 : Read
Read Direction : Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position : Bottom Right

12 A	11 B	10 C	9 D
5	6 e	7 f	8 g
4 h	3 i	2 X	1 X

Ciphertext : XXih efgDCBA

So finally

Plaintext	: ABCD efghi
Grid width	: 4
Write Direction	: Horizontal
Read Direction	: Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position	: Bottom Right
Ciphertext	: XXih efgDCBA

2. Route Cipher encoder

Text : hello world
Grid width : 4
Write Direction : Horizontal
Read Direction : Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position : Bottom Right
Padding Character : X
Remove Space : false

Solution:

The Route Cipher is a grid-based transposition cipher. Write plaintext into a grid and read it along a route like rows, columns, spiral.

Step-1 : Write
Grid width : 4
Write Direction : Horizontal
Plaintext : hello world

h	e	l	l
o		w	o
r	l	d	X

Step-2 : Read
Read Direction : Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position : Bottom Right

12 h	11 e	10 l	9 l
5 o	6	7 w	8 o
4 r	3 l	2 d	1 X

Ciphertext : Xdlro wolleh

So finally

Plaintext	: hello world
Grid width	: 4
Write Direction	: Horizontal
Read Direction	: Horizontal Alternate
Read Start Position	: Bottom Right
Ciphertext	: Xdlro wolleh
