Now rearrange the letters in numerical order, lowest to highest, to reveal Matthew’s secret message.
When using this code, try to keep the messages short. (If you need to write a longer message, split it up across a few lines with each line scrambled separately.) Also, remember that you need an odd number of letters in each line so your code has a clear starting point. If your message has an even number of letters, add a punctuation mark at the end of the line.
Once you’ve mastered the inside-out code, crack this extra message:

Look for a new decoder in the next issue of Clubhouse magazine.
