Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

What is ROT13?+

ROT13 (rotate by 13) shifts each letter 13 positions in the alphabet. Because the alphabet has 26 letters, applying ROT13 twice returns the original text.

Is ROT13 secure encryption?+

No. ROT13 is not encryption — it is a trivial obfuscation used for hiding spoilers or puzzle answers. Do not use it for sensitive data.

Does it affect numbers and symbols?+

No. Only A–Z and a–z are rotated. Numbers, spaces, and punctuation remain unchanged.
