About the ROT13 Encoder / Decoder
ROT13 rotates each letter 13 places through the alphabet. Because the alphabet has 26 letters, applying it twice returns the original — so the same tool encodes and decodes. It is used to hide spoilers and puzzle answers, not for security.
The transformation happens entirely in your browser.

Is ROT13 secure?
No, it is a simple obfuscation, not encryption.
