The Dickens Decoders

The Dickens Decoders are members of the public with an interest in Dickens, puzzles, and codes, who volunteer to take part in shorthand decoding challenges. The Decoders come from different parts of the world and bring a wide range of expertise to the project: some are shorthand teachers or computer coders, others have an interest in history and literature. Many more are motivated by the difficulty of the puzzle and tempted to give it a go!

None of this project would have been possible without the efforts of the Decoders, and we honour their contributions here as part of our ‘Roll of Honour’.

Roll of Honour

The Roll of Honour pays tributes to the work of the Dickens Decoders, identifying the first person to crack a particular shorthand symbol.
