Code Breaker

A code breaker is like someone who tries to solve a puzzle. But instead of putting puzzle pieces together, a code breaker tries to figure out secret messages that someone has hidden.

The messages are hidden using a special code, kinda like a secret language. The code makes the message look like a bunch of letters and numbers that don't make sense.

A code breaker tries to figure out the secret code by using their brain and special tools. They use different methods to try to solve the puzzle and unscramble the message.

Sometimes the code breaker works with a team of other people who help them solve the message. Together, they work hard to break the code and figure out what the message means.

In real life, code breakers were used during times of war. They helped government officials decipher secret messages from enemy countries, so they could know their plans and protect their country. But nowadays, code breakers can also work in computer programming or cybersecurity to protect information from hackers.
