Leet Speak Translator

What Is Leet Speak?

Leet speak (also written as 1337 or l33t) is an internet-era coded writing style where letters are replaced with numbers and symbols that look similar. It started in early hacker and gaming communities as a way to stand out online and make messages harder to read for outsiders.

Classic examples include replacing E with 3, O with 0, L with 1, S with 5, and T with 7. The word "leet" itself becomes "1337", which is why this style is often called elite speak.
