The ENIGMA K comes with a **relector wheel**, which is not moved during operation and is only set in the start position, and **three permutation wheels**. The permutation wheels, numbered I to III, can be mounted in different arrangements, | The ENIGMA K comes with a **relector wheel**, which is not moved during operation and is only set in the start position, and **three permutation wheels**.

- | {{ : | + | When you press one of the 26 letter keys, one of the 26 letters will light up. Each time, a key is pressed the right-hand permutation wheel is advanced by one position, with one notch; the middle wheel is moved one position after a complete revolution of the right wheel. Like found on an odometer, after one complete revolution of the middle wheel, the left permuting wheel is advanced by one step. |

In rotor ciphering machines, one letter is replaced with another letter one time. When the same letter key is pressed again, the same plaintext letter is encrypted by a different letter. Thus the code is far more difficult to crack, than the simple letter substitution code of school-level detective games in which one letter is always replaced by the same other letter. | In rotor ciphering machines, one letter is replaced with another letter one time.
