How it's built

An Enigma I drawn as its own working circuit: press a key and watch the current run through the plugboard, three rotors and the reflector. Then switch sides: slide a guessed word along an intercepted message, build its menu and run a bombe written from scratch on a pool of Web Workers. Six authored intercepts, a daily intercept, challenge links and machine share links.
