codemaker
Secret message writer
A codemaker creates codes—either secret systems for encrypting messages or the patterns in puzzle games like Mastermind where one player sets a hidden sequence for another to crack.
In cryptography, the codemaker works opposite the codebreaker: The codemaker's job is to create ciphers that resist analysis.
