Cryptic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Cryptical

  • (20) Cryptic heterozygosity will usually be much more frequent in heterothallic than homothallic organisms.

Cypher


Definition:

  • (n. & v.) See Cipher.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) The keys to each chart are minute, cypher-like instructions, peppered with anecdotes and asides.

  • (7) The roll runs includes Audrey Abbot (later Weston), an operator of the bombe machine that helped break the German Enigma cyphers, who worked there from 1942 to 1945, and Anne Zuppinger (later Hill), who recruited, trained and oversaw bombe operators.

  • (9) (Two Colossi survived, and moved with GC&CS – the Government Code and Cypher School, newly renamed as GCHQ – to Cheltenham in the 1950s, but they too were dismantled by the end of the decade.)
