Hey Girls!
Happy Monday!
I am going to start your week off with a mission! This one is very difficult, so be prepared!
To solve this code you must first do a caesar cipher and shift the letters 7 to the right.
Once you have done this there will be 6 different languages you will need to translate. They are grouped together in phrases so that they will translate correctly.
Things to note…
- The final word count (in English) will be 18.
- One word is a contraction.

P.S. Keep sending in Fan Art! Who knows your art might make Fan Art Friday on Ally’s Tumblr!
First Comment! (I think)
Happy President’s Day!
Does anyone know what ILSKBY turns into?
Holy moly! This sounds difficult! I guess I better start on it!
wow this is super hard!!!
um i don’t understand how to solve these codes :4
Wait what are the languages?
OMG thank you, at least someone around here has a brain
Wow this is hard I decoded the message but I’m having trouble translating it has anyone got it yet
WOW! It’s a good thing I have school off today! That looks hard :/ But a Gallagher Girl never backs down and I’m not going to be the first! Now I gotts to start working….
I hope i’m actually doing this right because tor the beginning i got: gomo twywf pszrif pwb job koh….
yeah, it just keeps going. i have no idea what languages they’re supposed to be. i may have unciphered it wrong though. hmmm…..
Ok never mind i think i got it now. I tried again and now google translate is giving me actual words lol
How did you get google to give you real words lol?? i already switched around the letters a few times :/ i wish i could really speak 14 languages
thats what i got too! im wondering if i decoded it wrong too……IM SO CONFUZZLED!! :S
i moved it 7 to the left and got some answers
it’s 7 to the right.
it works when you do seven to the left
The decoding isn’t hard but i have got loads of different meanings for some words!! Really confusing!
I figured out the Caeser Cipher, but can’t figure out the translation part!
Type bits and pieces of it into google translate, if you have it on “recognize” it will pick up which language it is from and translate it
this may seem like a stupid question but what is a caesar cipher? or is that just shifting the letters 7 to the tight? im confuzzled!!! :S
a ceasar cipher is when you shift letters to the right in this one you shift the letters 7 to the right
With 7 letters, it would be A=G, B=H, etc.
A=H, not G and B=I, not H
7 to the right.
I wish I could work on it but I am so busy with this kinda stupid science project :/ <3 you Mr. Science-teacher-that-I-won't-give-out-your-name! Writing a letter from Charles Darwin's pov… Lots of work and research and cursive (which I suck at) and, well, if all things possible I will try to complete the mission…
Got it! I think. I got the word count up to 18 and all, but I still don’t have the contraction… it doesn’t add up.
I think the contraction is “I’d” instead of “I would” which is what the words are translated to directly.
I think you’re right on the “I would”/”I’d” being the contraction. I changed mine as soon as I read that and now everything fits together perfectly
Thank you!
Woah, if my answer is right, then this book is getting really serious!
Never mind
Wait… Isn’t a Ceasar Cipher when you move it 3 times? But we move it 7? I’m all confused now…
They use the 3 as an example… it can be moved as many times as the person wants it to. In our case it’s moved 7 times
A ceaser cipher is just moving the letters X times to the right. You can choose however many letters u want it to be. In this case Molly chose 7.
wait, if we have to do a caeser cipher THEN move it 7 times we should move it 10 times altogether shouldnt we? aaarrrrrrrrr so confused!!
Normally a Ceaser Cipher is just 3 but Gallagher Girls have to be prepared for everything – even a mixed up cipher.
if you look up ceaser cipher into wikipedia on the side there is a photo of a 3 to the right cipher you just have to change it to 7 to the right it becomes easy . the hardest part is the actual translation can any one tell me how to do it besides using google translate.
OMG!!!! I GOT IT!!!! I FEEL SO SMART!!!!
Really then you are really smart! Do you know what are the languages!?
What is it?????!?!?!?! I’ve kinda got it but not all the way. I got I think fear is what I’d do if I found out how close they were. It doesn’t add up to 18 but I’ve got the six languages. HELP!!!!!!! SOMEONE!!!
Nevermind! I was wrong. But I’ve got it now. Hallelujia!
There are so many choices!
Idk .. Wat r the languages first of all? And second I have noooo idea how to unscramble it ! Can someoneeee plz help me …kinda u no with out breaking any rules! Oh..and HOLY CRAP to the ppl who have already got it! I dont no if I can find out this one ! Maybe the next mission! But wish me luck you guys !
Does anyone know what language they are? or what translator did u use?
Hooray! I got it! The answer is…… just kidding, I know that’s not allowed.
Off topic, I took a summer class a few years back called “Cryptography and Code Breaking” at Denver University… Anyways, it really helped with this…. haha
Do you know what the languages are?
Jealousy to the max!
google translate is super helpful
what is a ceaser cipher?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
freaking out! so confusing
this is awesome because i get another mission on my Birthday! Yay! And my birthday is President’s day! I feel so special! This is hard though….No fears, i am determinded to decode it!
Happy Birhday stranger!
Happy late birthday
hey its the thought that counts lol
I got the aswer days ago!!! The post was sent to me in an e-mail. Anyone else?
Yeah I got it in email too! I didn’t know what it was though cause it wasn’t on the website
I’m so not getting. I deciphered it then put it in the Google Translater and it came out more confusing then when it went in ugh!! But a Gallagher Girl goes not give up so I’ll keep at it! Thanks for this Mission Molly!
YES!!! I got it, well most of it any way, but I got the idea!
There are six different languages so be careful.
How is it grouped in phrases?!?!?!?!?!
how do you translate the words
Last time you counted the contraction as two words, but a contraction is only one word. Did you count it as two again?
GOT THE FIRST # WORDS WooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooo HoooooOOOOOooo!
[couple words]
I decoded the cipher and I put it through all the different languages on google translator now i have to
figure out what the languages are also i was wondering if anybody new if you had to unscramble anything
or if the phrase just went together?
I’ve been working on this for at least half an hour! Haha not long at all. I have the words but I don’t get how to put them together. Can we have a hint or format?
Plus, I have 18 words but when I make a contraction it’s 17 words… is that right?
I like this mission!
………………………………… I have no words…………………………………………………..
……………………………………………. < is my brain right now
I’m gonna get started but judging from ya’lls post it sounds hard
What is ciphering? It’s kinda a stupid question but…imma CUNFUZZLED! It’s not good ! I think imma gonna sit this mission out…I totally know it is NOT the gallagher girl thing to do at all… And the Gallagher girl in me tells me to keep trying but….I don’t know! Maybe the next mission I guess! Errrr imma so sad but I have to do what I have to do!;(
I kind of got it. I got the words:
I, idea,fear, zen, of, what, I, would, do, if, i, found, the, what, close, he, was, getting
I don’t exactly know how to unscramble those words to make sense, though. Can’t wait to see the answer!
What languages did you use??
make sure that you are finding the groups that are the same languages. They translate different when they are separate words. ‘Zen’ is in the same language that fear was in, so put those two together into google translate and you will get what it should really be.
I tried that it did not work.
I got the same words!!!
Very hard mission, but I think I sort of had it. Translating is very hard. Google translate = YOUR FRIEND!! Thanks for the mission Molly!!
I have all the words but the order is confusing me. Maybe I translated some of the words into the wrong language
Grrr…
Ok I decoded it and I translated most of it and it went off to a good start, but when i finally had like 2 words left I started getting crazy translations. Aghhh! I’m mad, but that’s the farthest I got on a mission(mostly because I recently started to get into it). But tell me how in the world do you get Casserole as a translation?! Cuz I really need to know!
Big question: When you caesar cipher it, do you do 7 to the right as in z, a, b, c, d, e, f and your letters F or do you NOT count z as one of the letters your shifting over and get the letter G? Or am I supposed to go backwards up the alphabet? Wait… am I even doing it right? Help! Can’t even start until i know :{
guys this is seriously hard!!
I translated the Caesar cipher, 7 to the right, put it through google translate and now I’m a little lost
Urgh same here does anyone one know what
The six languages are?
I am still not giving up on this!
I’m close to solving it! I need two more words and a contraction. Once I have those, I’m sure it will make a lot more sense!
im so CONFUSED!!!!D:
hey look…another Yoly.
never seen it spelled that way before
When doing the Caeser Cipher, do we count the letter that is being ciphered?
I almost got it!!
Ok, so I’m confused because websites say, for example, if the shift number is 3, A=D, but would it be A=C????? So, the question is do you count the first letter or not???
this is super hard. do u people know what languages? i have a grand list of 36 languages that they could be and i need to get rid of 30. also 18 words 6 languages. i may not be the bestat math but i think i see a connection. i cant wait to solve this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I ciphered all the words, I got words like yczwyz. Did anyone else get that or am I doing it seriously wrong?
Count seven backwards, so ZHFA would turn into SAYA, and then translate.
YESSS! I cracked the code. Move left instead of right despite the instructions. Wow, I’ve never even heard of some of these languages. Is the contraction i’d though? it didn’t translate that way.
The contraction isn’t translated into a contraction. You have to put two of the translated words together to make the contraction. The contraction is “I’d” though.
Yay! I got it! Here are some tips that will really help and hopefully won’t give too much away:
1st group- ZHFH MPRPY -the language it translates from starts with an I
2nd group- ILSKBY GLU -language starts with a B
3rd group- CHU DHA PR GVB KVLU -language starts with a D
4th group- RBUN P UHAHNWBHU -language starts with an F
5th group- RVSPRV ISPGB -language starts with an S
6th group- ELE ESTAVA FICANDO -language starts with a P
First decipher the groups because I DID NOT do that for you. Once each group is deciphered-using the Caesar cipher (7 to the right)-translate it using the language that begins with the letters I gave you. I highly suggest using Google Translate, that’s where I did everything. There are two “the”s in the answer that you will have to change by yourself, with no translate, so that it makes sense. One last thing, you end up with 19 words if you do this correctly. To make it 18, combine “I” and “would” to make “I’d” which ends up being the contraction.
Hope that helps and still makes you think a little! If anyone still has questions comment on this comment and I’ll try to answer you to the best of my ability.
Your fellow Gallagher Girl,
Paige
Sorry guys!!!! I totally deciphered group 6 for you! But, you still need to find out what language it translates from! Remember, group 6 translates from a language that starts with P.
Paige
The first language is Malay.
Thank you for you help!
Thanks for the help!!!
Okay, I really don’t get this! If 7 to the right, You get words like GOMO TWFWY .. and others. Do you have to unscramble these? Or are they the actual words? That you just have to translate? And what’s this about moving it to the left instead?? Pleas Help!!
Oh I got it wrong I started over and now I’m getting saya fikir and beldur so saya=I fikir=idea beldur=fear am I right?
I figured it out! (I think!) It was hard, but I finally got it.
i have something but after every “the” it doesnt flow right.
Remember that most languages don’t have a word for the articles ( a , an, the) so your translation doesn’t necessarily have ‘the’ but the online translator might add it to the phrase. Hope this helped!!
I think the languages are Indonesian/Basque/Dutch/Filipino/Croatian/Portuguese.
Oh! I think I got it! wow that was the perfect thing for me to do on my day off!
So can you tell us what the languages are???? Please J
I got…”I think the fear was of what I’d do if I found out how close he was getting.”
Mine was really close to that. “I was afraid of what I would do if I found out how close he was getting.”
I did it again after I posted and got “I think I was afraid of what I’d do if I found out how close he was getting.” With these translating missions there are so many different things that it could be.
I didn’t get Malay I got Indonesian for the first language.
I got alot of the words some one got up there but I also only got 16 and zen…because that wldnt translete. I was woundering if the words are already in orderd to make the sentence because if it is that makes no since. So do move ard the word to make a sentence? Also hasnt it been 24 hrs so we can post the sentence or not?
got the words something like: gesture model how close single he was getting i think what should i do elegant. they were the words i got however i got 8 languauges!!!!!!!! help nyone?
youre fellow gallagher girl, libby
It’s Indonesian, not Malay. But the other languages are correct.
Malay and Indonesia are probably closely related languages like Spanish and Portoguese because they both work.
M
I got a jumbled up sentence with two words that didn’t translate, but I think it might be something along the lines of “I fear the idea of what I would do if I’d found out how far he had gotten.” I don’t think that’s exactly it, but something close to that, at least.
I didnt know what I’d do. He was getting closer. This is what I THINK. Got other unnecessary words that I cut out but whatever.
Hey Molly (or Ally) can you post the answer to the mission?! Thanks!
If you translate it together it is I think I was afraid not fear
)
I’m pretty sure that it’s “I think the fear was of what I’d do if I found what he was getting closer to.” Not 100% sure though. Some words didn’t translate well for me. Hope it’s right,
Your fellow Gallagher Girl,
Faith
Yeah, I think that is right, I got something alongs those lines
Same
I got something really close!
For one of the words I got egg! Don’t think that’s right Aimee…
OMG!
I GOT IT!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I got “I think he was afraid of what I would do. I’ve found how close the element is getting”
That makes so much more sense than “I think fear for it is something I call pain if I found the note close elements was luxation” (luxation means dislocation)which is what i got with my faulty translator. Congrats on the answer though!
Post please the answer soon!!!!
Your fellow Gallagher Girl Shine
This is what I got “I think I was afraid of what I’d do if I found out how close he was getting”
I hope I am right it could be Mrs.Morgan talking to Cammie?
I can’t wait until they post the answer and I REALLY can’t wait until the book comes out the languages I used
start with I, B, D, F, S, and P And I split it up into 6 groups but I got some help from some comments!
<3Maggie
I got the same thing
For some reason I kept getting element but I figured it out
I got something allong the lines of “(blank) was afraid of what i would do if i found out how close he was getting. ” I’m not sure what the subject is but sometimes in foreign languages they don’t really need a subject. Since it’s “was” it has to be i, he, or she. And i had to go left instead of right in the cipher.
The last part is: He was giong
I got “I think he was afraid of what I’d do if I found out how close he was getting.” Did anyone else get this????
I got ” i think he was afraid of what i’d do if I found out how close he was getting” it took me for ever and i probably got it wrong. This was definitely a hard one!
I got: ‘My idea beldur zen of what I would do if I found the how close he was getting.’ I could not translate beldur or zen and of corse the does not make sense. Any other Gallaher Girl have the right answer?
same thing here i wonder what language those would be
What are the languages??????? Someone….PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!
I got “i think the people are afraid of what i’d do if i found out how close he was getting”. I not really sure that what it is though.
There are tons of ideas for the answer and if cant wait to see
What it is
ally, when u post the answer….. can u post step by step instructions on how to do it? because i really wanna do it myself!!!!
Hey fellow Gallagher Girls!
How do you do these?! I can’t seem to figure this out because then I translate a word wrong or I shift a letter too far. I’m very frustrated!!!!! Help!
Killian
Guys, remember that these are grouped into phrases. So don’t translate word for word, group the words together, so that the translations will come out as phrases. So when you use Google Translate (it’s really helpful) put it on “detect language” and it will find the language for you. Good Luck!!
I got it! Once you get started, it kinda just figures itself out!
Anyway, I JUST PRE-ORDERED the book! I so cannot wait for it to come in on the 13th, I just know it’ll be a great book!
I think the contraction is dont
Horray! BRING ON MISSION 11!
I think it’s ‘ I think I was afraid of what i’d do if I found out how close he was getting ‘ did anyone else get the same??
This is hard but I will get it in the end
HAPPY BIETHDAY TO ME!!!!(: it’s really early I know but unmm….I have to get ready for school sooo…go to go!!!
Happy birthday!!!!
I sorta got it… but the words don’t fit together quite right. What did you get for the second word?
This was a really hard one! All the answers we’ve come up with sound pretty serious, could it be Cammie saying these things?
Happy Birthday Taylor!!!
OMG y’all! Ally said that after we get done with mission 10 she will give us a mega exerpt!!! But I seriously can’t figure out how y’all do this…I have no idea where to begin! I personally am only good at binary codes
Oooh! Ive got to start! sounds fun!
Molly-
Do we get that excerpt, since we solved mission 10?
-Livvy
For the Beldur Zen unscrabled try transtating with Zen Beldur
Oh my thought I was never going to get the answer but finally I did! Thanks for the missions Ally.
wow, that took forever, i just finished it today!!
excerpt…please? o.o
Okay, I’m confused. Could someone clarify: does Ally really know George Clooney? I’m sort of confused…
Also, just read the new POV. Love it!!!!!
I don’t think she knows George Clooney… but you never know.
happy birthday!!! (this is really late)

cool i actally know how to speak 4 languages
