Questions people ask

What is ROT13?

ROT13 is a simple letter substitution cipher that replaces each letter with the letter 13 positions after it in the alphabet. It's its own inverse โ€” applying ROT13 twice returns the original text.

Is ROT13 secure?

No. ROT13 is not encryption. It's a trivial cipher mainly used to obscure spoilers, puzzle answers, and similar casual use cases.

Does ROT13 affect numbers and symbols?

No. ROT13 only transforms letters (A-Z, a-z). Numbers, spaces, punctuation, and symbols remain unchanged.
