About the ROT13 Cipher
ROT13 is the internet's classic simple cipher used on forums and Reddit to hide spoilers. Since the alphabet has 26 letters, applying ROT13 twice returns the original text.
What Is the ROT13 Cipher?
ROT13 replaces each letter with the letter 13 positions after it. A→N, B→O... N→A. Since 13+13=26, applying ROT13 twice always returns the original — making the same operation encode AND decode.
