undecipherably

In unreadable fashion

In a manner that cannot be deciphered or made out.

Handwriting may be undecipherably messy, a recording undecipherably distorted: She mumbled something undecipherably into her pillow.

The word applies to anything meant to convey meaning but rendered impossible to interpret.
