Hey, I'm trying to make a project where you can talk to other players via the project and I need to encode letters into numbers, then decode then back to letters on the other scratcher's POV (because cloud variables cannot take words) any ideas?

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:

3.1 Chat projects with cloud variables

Although it is possible to make a chat project using cloud variables, it is not allowed to make such a project. This is because there is a high potential for bullying and inappropriate messages, and the Scratch Team does not have the resources to moderate these chat rooms.

‎

Chat projects on Scratch which contained a whitelist (that is, the user could only chat using certain words) used to be allowed on Scratch. Over time, however, the moderation issues got too high, and some users attempted to use such projects to get around the Community Guidelines. As a result, the Scratch Team has decided that these kinds of projects are not allowed on the Scratch website, even if they contain a whitelist of words. However, whitelisted phrases are okay, provided that users cannot freely write their own sentences using the cloud chat project.

You can make a safe chat though.
