Atbash is a simple substitution cipher that reverses the alphabet: A
becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, and so on. 


--- Aleph–Tav–Bet–Shin, which is the source of the name
“Atbash”. 



 In English, the classic demo is HELLO → SVOOL


    Wizard  -->   draziW

     Girt   -->   triG

(Like   Palindromes)



Girt is a real English word. It’s an old or uncommon form of gird
meaning “to bind, encircle, or fasten,” and it also appears as a
noun in a few technical senses.
