Problem Statement: Get Cubed

I found this floating around on a piece of paper while geocaching. What could “dqow_UrrEcxbaDdfgwwIhww” possibly mean?

Hint:

What are some weird ciphers? Maybe originally involving a cube?

Writeup

It looks like the flag was encoded using some sort of cube cipher. Googling cube cipher gives us the trifid cipher.

We can use an online decoder to get the flag. I used this website, and the key is simply the default cube.
