Well, unless you have found a really REALLY interesting set of words, only some of the letters hae been changed. Allow me to venture a guess first of all. The words I don't know right off will be ****'d.

^h4s CX MN ~ @eCrEt Code. _+n you +r@k CA?
This is my * secret code. Can you **** it?

Obviously, it's a bit too obvious. However, if we go with it for a minute, we see that a few other replacements can be made. The tilde is only used once, so I have no idea what article would go in there, but the other problem word uses letters that have been used elsewhere.

+ = a
r = r
@ = s

So now we have...
^h4s CX MN ~ @eCrEt Code. _+n you +r@k CA?
This is my * secret code. Can you ars* it.

You know what. I give up. I don't think I WANT to know.

;-)

Of course you want to know! Then you'd be seriously cool!

The missing word just before the end is clearly "break".

I'll be kind enough to say it isn't so.

You guys forgot the last line.

Good luck!

Now, as for how the code works -- I have no clue. I'm just guessing.

You don't "break" codes, you "crack" them.
 
Posted by IdemosthenesI (Member # 862) on :
 
the word only has four characters. I guess I was simply assuming that the characters were one to one.
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
I'd guess "grok" instead of "break," then.

Since when does poorly-formulated and inconsistent 733t constitute a "secretx" code? I mean, heck, if I couldn't read THAT, I couldn't play any multiplayer game online.

*cough* I don't think you get it Tom. You're taking him seriously.
 
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
I solemnly swear never to do that again.

Dagonee (an intrepid lawyer who's ready to make his way out into the world and really acomplish something!) has got it. "Grok" is the missing word.
