When Used

Fuzzbies love to pass messages on to your friends. What would you like your Fuzzby to share? <Message> To whom should your Fuzzby to relate this?

Send!
Upon receiving the message:
<Gibberish>


Ask your Fuzzby to translate


Notes

  • Once sent, the message will become gibberish.
  • Fuzzby does not, however, correctly translate the gibberish.

How Fuzzby Translates

  • Fuzzby will translate the message you send by splitting the message up by 'words' (characters separated by spaces). Each word is then split, depending on its length. If the length is odd, then the first letter is removed and translated into fuzzby using the One-Letter Map (below). After removing the first letter if necessary, the length is guaranteed to be even, so it is split into as many two-letter chunks as necessary, and then each chunk is translated into Fuzzby using the Two-Letter Map (below). If any letter is encountered that is not translatable by this map, the rest of the word is ignored and passed through as-is (but the first part is translated).
  • The one-letter map forms cycles of the vowels and consonants separately. An input vowel produces an output of the next vowel after it ('a' maps to 'e', and 'e' maps to 'i', etc). The consonants map to the consonant six ahead of themselves (skipping vowels), so 'b' maps to 'j', 'c' maps to 'k', ... 'n' maps to 'v' ... 'z' maps to 'h').
  • There are also a great number of special words which translate into other words (but are not processed after changing into those words, it's just a mapping). The special words can be found here.
  • Capital letters are only honored in two cases:
1) If the entire word is capitalized (then the entire fuzzby word is capitalized).
2) If the first letter is capitalized, then only the first letter will be capitalized in the fuzzby translation (capitalizations in the middle of the word are ignored).
3) This isn't always the case though, there is some strange behavior, in the example provided below, the word Kingdom is capitalized in the input, and the translated version "Rtioholica" also has a capital 'R', but when translated back into English, the word becomes lowercase "kingdom."

Example

  • If someone sends the message "Everyone thank Jick for the Kingdom of Loathing!" Then this message will get split up like so:
  • Special words get replaced, so "everyone" becomes "Menithter bion dnceact" (around the world), "for" becomes "mnce con" (for to), "the" becomes "entthi" (this).
  • All words get processed as they are seen in the phrase, so we are left with the following literal strings and groups of input to be translated:
  • Menithter bion dnceact (t ha nk) (Ji ck) mnce con entthi (K in gd om) (of) (Lo at hi ng)!
  • using the below table, we can see that
(t ha nk) maps to (b ere wou)
(Ji ck) maps to (Llo tan)
(K in gd om) maps to (R tio hol ica)
(of) maps to (rea)
(Lo at hi ng) maps to (Whi ati was ver)
  • Finally, reconstructing the fuzzby phrase, we end up with:
  • Menithter bion dnceact berewou Llotan mnce con entthi Rtioholica rea Whiatiwasver!
  • Mapping this back to English becomes Around the world thank Jick for to this kingdom of Loathing!
  • Note that this mapping is splitting up the input and translating in the same fashion as the More fun with Fuzzby section.

More fun with Fuzzby

  • A careful observer will notice that a lot of the Two-Letter mappings go to pieces which can make up valid english words, when translated into fuzzby. A link at the bottom of the post here gives a mapping for what inputs in 'English' will produce which 'Fuzzby' outputs which are actually words in a dictionary.
  • Thus, it is possible to construct some English phrases, such as "Dear Jick, you rock!" by doing the following (if not just looking up the words in the linked file):
  • Notice that to reverse fuzzby, you can only translate words which have a length that is a multiple of three, or are one letter longer than a multiple of three. So english words which are 2, 5, 8, 11 ... characters long are not possible to create through fuzzby translating from gibberish input into readable fuzzby output.
  • For each word of input, split it up. If it has a length 2 more than a multiple of three, you can't go further. If it has a length 1 more than a multiple of three, then remove the first letter, and translate that with the one character map, but going in reverse (from Fuzzby Output to the Input which generates it). Then, the rest of the word is guaranteed to have a length which is a multiple of three. Split the word into groups of three, and translate each piece by looking up that piece in the Two-Letter Map, but go in reverse to determine the input which produces that output. Then reconstruct the entire word.
  • A word of caution, there are 26*26 inputs which map to 26*26 outputs. This is a complete coverage of inputs, but covers only 1/26 of all possible outputs (since there are 26*26*26 possible three-character combinations, but only 26*26 of them can be made by putting something in to Fuzzby.
  • Splitting our example phrase comes up with: (D ear) (J ick), (you) (r ock)!
(D ear) maps to (W ri)
(J ick) maps to (B fd)
(you) maps to (ur)
(r ock) maps to (k jr)
  • Reconstructing the entire phrase, we have: Wri Bfd, ur kjr!
  • Providing that string as an input to Fuzzby will produce the obfuscated output "Dear Jick, you rock!"
  • This method can be used to translate anything encoded by the Fuzzby into whatever English phrase it is meant to be, except in rare cases where the fuzzby will translate into a non-alphabetic character, such as with the words: marriage, looked, eat, dollar, billion.
  • This can be seen from the above example, where the fuzzby output was "Menithter bion dnceact berewou Llotan mnce con entthi Rtioholica rea Whiatiwasver!"
  • Splitting this up gives the groups: (Men ith ter) (b ion) (d nce act) (b ere wou) (Llo tan) (m nce) (con) (ent thi) (R tio hol ica) (rea) (Whi ati was ver)
  • Mapping these back using the Two-Letter map in reverse gives (Ar ou nd) (t he) (w or ld) (t ha nk) (Ji ck) (f or) (to) (th is) (K in gd om) (of) (Lo at hi ng)
  • Putting it all back together gives the phrase "Around the world thank Jick for to this kingdom of Loathing!"
