Some time ago, I created a series of cipher puzzles with a small STEEM prize for those who can solve them. Two of the eight puzzles still remain unsolved.
Decipher the encoded messages and post the decrypted message in the comments below. If you are the first to answer correctly, I'll send you the reward for that puzzle!
These puzzles require some computer literacy.
The answers are english language words. Don't post the answer unless it's a word found in Merriam-Webster!
Good luck!
