Wondering what you'd call something that combines a page with seemingly assorted characters with another page with holes in it to reveal a message or two.

Hmm. I honestly... this may be a job for WP:RD/MA. I'm sure they've got a cryptonut or 7. Dunno if that'd be the right reference desk though.

@Unionhawk The name is probably encrypted though.
