What it does

An Enigma machine you can open up. Type a letter and watch the signal travel through the plugboard, rotors and reflector and back. Then break a message the way Bletchley Park did: give it a guess at a word in the message, and a working model of Turing's Bombe searches every rotor setting in about a second. Teachers can send students a challenge link with a hidden message to crack.

Good to know

Plugs that the guessed word doesn't reach stay unknown, so only that part of the message decodes cleanly at first.
