How to solve the Captain’s code Cipher in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

On the table, there is a handwritten note with the word “JÖGM“, which is the word to be placed in the Cipher Machine. However the code wheels are out of the machine, they need to be placed in a specific order. From left to right look for the one that has the correspondence letter from the word, the correct order will be the code wheels with the following letters:

  • R, C, D, O, A, J, B, S
  • L, U, F, H, E, K, T, Ö
  • O, A, H, I, G, U, V, Z
  • B, P, W, Y, M, T, N, X

With the wheels in place, now type the word “JÖGM”. Below there is now another word, “BLUT“, look for it in the Code Table on the table to find the 4 numbers associated with it are 3666, this is the code.
