I began with Carroll’s invention of the doublet—or as it is more commonly known today, a word ladder—and disguised a cipher within the one hundred and twenty six steps that take the reader through nineteen words from Carroll’s own works; from Alice to the Queen. Each word was followed by a passage of text from a piece of writing that featured the word. For the nineteen words stemming from Carroll’s works, a passage inclusive of the word from the Carrollian work that each individual word appeared in was used. The cipher should be used to decode the nonsense statement that spans the top of the piece.
