Generate a Playfair cipher key using any text via an interactive form.

#Description

This is a WordPress plugin that will use any text to generate a Playfair cipher key.

The Playfair cipher is a manual encryption technique that encodes letter pairs within a 5x5 grid. It's a cryptological dance of digraphs that makes secrets wonderfully intricate yet fantastically decipherable for those in the know.

While this tool is useful for anybody wanting to create a key for the Playfair cipher, it has been specifically constructed for those interested in exploring the use of the Playfair cipher for sigil generation.
