1. Tap code Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Tap : .
Alphabet25 : abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Row Heading : 12345
Column Heading : 12345
Coordinates Read Order : Row then Column


Solution:
The Tap code cipher is a 5x5 grid-based Polybius square cipher, that represents letters using two sets of taps, where first denotes row and second denotes column

Alphabet = abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz

12345
1abcde
2fghik
3lmnop
4qrstu
5vwxyz
