QWERTY Cipher
The name "QWERTY" for our keyboard comes from the first six letters in the top
alphabet row. It was the work of inventor C. L. Sholes, who put together the
prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back
in the 1860's. The keys made their first appearance on a rickety, clumsy device
marketed as the "Type-Writer" in 1872. Typewriters had a problem of parts
sticking together when a proficient typist would type too fast. This keyboard
layout kept the the most used keys far apart and thus would avoid any sticking.

Compass Rose Alphabet
A compass rose is found on maps to show geographic direction. The four cardinal
direction are North, South, East and West. The secondary directions are named by
combining two of the cardinal directions with North or South being named first.
We can make a code by using this grid. Start in the middle and find the direction

For example, the “Z” would be (SouthEast - 3 steps) or (SE3).
