## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Statistical tests on the transcribed runes show the signature of a classical cipher (for example periodicity in the index of coincidence).
- Keys found for solved passages recur or follow a rule that extends to others.

## What would rule it out

- Ciphertext statistics indistinguishable from random over the Gematria values under every classical model tested.

## Evidence 2 for · none against

[Cicada published a key mapping 29 runes to letters and to the first 29 primes.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/cicada-3301/evidence/EVD0D7R73FC5ZQG/cicada-published-a-key-mapping-29-runes-to-letters-and-to)
