Kryptos 2.1

Kryptos 2.1 is named after Kryptos by the American artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) – which is the original Kryptos so that is number 1. Kryptos 2, a series of encrypted messages, is a tribute to the original Kryptos.

The following word search contains more than 400 english words and counting. Can you find them all? Be aware of handling snaking word search – that allows words in all directions as well as to double a letter.

In the grid there are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, abbreviations, acronyms, articles, pronouns, verbs, prepositions, and conjunctions.

But the snaking word search is just for fun!

The true aim is to unravel the hidden phrase in it – the message is written in cypher.

This snaking word search is one of the problems that make up URAIMSIA, an armchair treasure hunt book. For more details about it, access the front page.

URAIMSIA is going to have between 33 and 53 ciphertexts, puzzles and riddles, and the winner will get a prize in USD.

By the way, Jakim Vyzov is part of my pen name and a cyphered puzzle too. So you have to decode it to realize its real meaning. My whole pen name got 5 part, so Jakim Vyzov is just 2 of 5 parts. The rest of my pen name – the other 3 parts of 5 – is going to be showed when the book will be available for sale.
