Suppose that the following word, EAIWSQI, was encrypted with a Caesar cipher and when you do a frequency analysis you learn that the most frequent letter was 'i'. What is the secret word? Type your answer into the Textbox. (Make sure there are no extra spaces in your answer.)

Answer:

The correct answer is "Awesome".

Explanation:

Ceasar Cipher is a encryption method used in the secret correspondences during the history of cryptography and it is one of the first methods of encryption. It is based on a basic principle of shifting each letter of the alphabet by a specific number and replacing it with the corresponding letter and it is easily solvable.

The word "EAIWSQI" given in the question uses a shift of 4 letters in the alphabet and it is shifted backwards so E corresponds the A, A corresponds to W and so on. When we apply this to the whole message, we can see that the corresponding word is "Awesome".

I hope this answer helps.
