## ❓ Why?

Word obfuscation could lead us to cracking weird passwords. `spiral.py` was a pattern I was obsessively doing in my head, so I decided to implement it to make it easier for myself.

## ⁉️ How?

`spiral.py` is an alternating pattern:

1. Omit the first character

2. Append character to the right

3. Prepend the next character to the left

4. Append the next character to the right

5. etc.

### ℹ️ Example

```

Hello:

H - Omit

He - Append 'E' to the right

Lhe - Prepend 'L' to the left

Lhel - Append 'L' to the right

Olhel - Prepend 'O' to the left

```

Hence its name - Spiral.
