Glyph Hacking

Glyph Hacking has become a wonderful way to get AP, Gear, and a Badge.  You can hack all day without glyph hacking and still advance in the game.  I hated Glyph Hacking because I really sucked at it.  I'm a mom.  I have mommy brain.  Glyphs did not compute.  I am happy to report that I did finally earn my Bronze Translator badge after a lot of bitching.

First, I highly suggest going to the app store and downloading Glypher.  It is a training program.  You learn the Glyphs and trace them, and you learn the names of each Glyph, too.  As a good friend of mine and fellow Ingress Player told me, when you learn the names of the Glyphs, and you Glyph Hack, you will see phrases begin to emerge.  Once you learn the names and the phrases, you've got it down.  Sounds like a lot of work, I know.  I promise you, it is worth it.

I found this great page that might help you learn the glyphs without the Glypher app:
The Ingress Glyph Memorization Guide

As pictured above from the Ingress Glyph Memorization Guide, you can see how these Glyphs make sense.  Once you can connect the logic behind the Glyphs and their shapes, they're easier to learn.  Visit the page and have a look.

The phrases each Glyph Hack series make are ones that you can memorize, too.  I haven't been able to get that far.  However, there is a great site where you can find All Glyph Hack Sequences and learn the phrases.

Learn the Glyphs, learn the phrases, and then you will become a master Glyph Hacker.  Be warned, you get a lot of extra gear and you will find yourself wondering what to recycle to make room for the next hack.  That's a problem I don't mind having!

Have fun Glyph Hacking!
