Hidden inside the Hash Kitten tee are six secret words. Each colour uses a different code, and each one is a bit trickier than the last. Crack all six to find the password.
Two A4 pages with answer boxes, ready to print. No sign-ups, apps or accounts needed: just a pencil and the tee. Tip: start at the top with the green line and work down.
1Number Code
The green line. Every letter has a number: A = 1, B = 2 … all the way to Z = 26. Swap each number for its letter.
2Mirror Word
The orange line. This one is just written backwards. Read it from right to left. Example: TAC → CAT.
3Caesar’s Secret Shift
The red line. Julius Caesar hid messages by sliding the alphabet along. Every letter has moved one step forward (A became B), so move each letter one step back.

Top row: letter on the kitten. Bottom row: the real letter.
4Morse Code
The blue line. Dots are short beeps and dashes are long beeps. A gap means a new letter.
5Pigpen Cipher
The purple line. Each letter is a little shape. Watch out for the dots! Match each shape to find its letter.
6Binary
The pink line. Computers store letters as 1s and 0s. Each group of 8 is one capital letter. Find each group in the table.
Crack the kitten!
Take the first letter of each answer, in order from 1 to 6. That spells the secret password. Stuck? Every answer is a cat word.
