The following is a list of cryptograms from Gravity Falls. There is a cryptogram during the credits of each episode. They use Caesar ciphers, Atbash ciphers, the A1Z26 cipher, and keyed Vigenère ciphers. Episodes 1-6 are Caesar ciphers, Episodes 7-13 are Atbash ciphers, Episodes 14-19 are the A1Z26 cipher, Episodes 21-30 are Vigenère ciphers, and Episode 20 and 31 are Combined ciphers. Book 3 contains a symbol substitution cipher.
Season 1 cryptograms[]
Caesar ciphers[]
The Caesar ciphers used in Gravity Falls substitute the original letter for the third letter before it. In the case for letters X, Y, and Z you must cycle through to the beginning of the alphabet.
