List of cryptograms

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, and the A1Z26 cipher. Episodes 1-6 are Caesar ciphers, Episodes 7-13 are Atbash ciphers, Episodes 14-19 are the A1Z26 cipher, and Episode 20 is a Combined cipher. Book 3 contains a symbol substitution cipher.

Caesar ciphers
The Caesar ciphers used in Gravity Falls substitute the original letter for the third letter after it. In the case for letters X, Y, and Z you must cycle through to the beginning of the alphabet.

Combined Cipher
A Combined cipher is a mix of two or more ciphers seen in the show. Only one such cipher has been seen at the end of Gideon Rises. It's solved by switching the letters using A1Z26 cipher, then flipping it with the Atbash cryptogram, and finally by using the Caesar cryptogram.
