The letters are expressed using a hexadecimal type of system. Every letter is shown by two characters the first character can be any ascii character while the second is in a range from a-p. This works just like hex in that ap+1=ba. Its not case sensitive so that also makes it easier for kids to get passes. The characters start at EM. So A= EM B=EN and so on. Each letter is also added to by the number of letters in front of it. So the crypt of aa= EN9O while the crypt of aaa=EO9P>A.

How cute!
