# Question: Easy1
### Key: picoCTF{CRYPTOISFUN}
**Core concept: Vigenere Cypher - Decrypted character=(Encrypted characterKey character+26)mod26**
Can be solved by an easy Python script:
```py
def decrypt_vigenere(encrypted_text, key):
decrypted_text = ""
key_length = len(key)
for i in range(len(encrypted_text)):
encrypted_char_pos = ord(encrypted_text[i]) - ord('A')
key_char_pos = ord(key[i % key_length]) - ord('A')
decrypted_char_pos = (encrypted_char_pos - key_char_pos + 26) % 26
decrypted_char = chr(decrypted_char_pos + ord('A'))
decrypted_text += decrypted_char
return decrypted_text
encrypted_flag = "UFJKXQZQUNB"
key = "SOLVECRYPTO"
decrypted_flag = decrypt_vigenere(encrypted_flag, key)
print("Decrypted Flag:", decrypted_flag)
```
Output: CRYPTOISFUN
