How big is the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel?

The Mexican Army Cipher Wheel is 5.75 inches across and 1 inch tall and weighs 7 ounces. Every number reads at a glance, and it sits well on a desk or shelf.

What comes in the box?

The assembled cipher wheel, an instruction sheet with a worked example and three secret messages to crack without the key (hints, keys and answers on the back), and a worksheet for writing your own messages.

How is it different from a cipher wheel that shifts the alphabet?

A shift wheel swaps each letter for another letter. This wheel turns each letter into one of 3 or 4 two-digit numbers, set by four disks with 456,976 possible settings, so a letter does not always look the same.

Do I need two wheels to send messages?

One wheel writes and reads messages. The person you send a message to needs their own wheel and the same key to read it, which is why many people buy a pair.

What is the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel made of?

Each disk is MDF faced with real cherry veneer, laser cut and laser engraved by Creative Crafthouse in Hudson, Florida. The base is 1/4 inch thick, the number disks and cap 1/8 inch, and the raised cap brings it to 1 inch tall.
