Unless I am missing something, this didn't really teach me anything? It's more of a magical emoji black box.

On a sidenote, Codemoji broke my back button (:() and seems way over-animated for a simple three box form.

In the onboarding, you can see that the idea is to teach about the basics of ciphers. ie "early ciphers shifted the letters of the alphabet". So this is for lay users who haven't been exposed to the basics.

I think that sentence was the only clue to how it "kinda" works, and it is gone quite quickly.

Back button broke for me too in Chrome OSX. Takes you to a 404 page. https://learning.mozilla.org/codemoji/#/404
