To unravel me You need a simple key, No key that was made By locksmith's hand, But a key that only I Will understand.
Common Wrong Answers
“Lock”
A lock is a physical object that requires a tangible key to open it, unlike a cipher which is a method of encoding information that relies on a conceptual key.
“Code”
While a code is related to encoding information, it doesn't specifically imply the need for a 'key' in the sense described by the riddle, which emphasizes a unique understanding rather than just a set of rules.
“Map”
A map can help to navigate or find locations but does not involve a key or encoding in the way that a cipher does. It doesn't fit the context of needing a 'simple key' for unraveling.
