Why use it?

Crack-the-code worksheets are fun for students, but making them by hand is slow. You have to keep the code key consistent, line up the blanks, check the answer key, and then repeat all of that every time you want a new message.

This app keeps the key, messages, student page and answer key together. Type your messages, choose how the code should look, then adjust the layout until it fits your worksheet.

If you create themed classroom resources or TPT products, you can make several code-breaking activities without rebuilding the same structure each time.

Commercial use

You can use the worksheets you create in your own classroom resources and commercial products.
