Last Updated: August 11, 2026
Welcome to the complete Homicipher Dictionary!

Whether you are stuck on a specific puzzle or just curious about the mysterious language, this Homicipher dictionary is the fastest way to look up any word.
The Homicipher dictionary is organized into 10 sections that follow the original community guide, covering pronouns, greetings, movement, actions, survival words, people and body, objects, directions, emotions, and describing words. Each word has been cross-checked against the game and the community translation.
This Homicipher Dictionary contains complete translations that reveal major game mechanics and story elements. For the best experience, we recommend trying to decode the language naturally during your first playthrough.
A Note from the Author Kia: This guide was compiled over many hours of play, context comparison, and cross-referencing. The words and usages may not always be perfect, but should convey the accurate essence of meaning. You can always swap out words and phrases for synonyms that you enjoy more (I personally like using "that one" in place of "them" just for funsies), but I mostly chose words or phrases that were the simplest and what I felt were most accurate for this guide. Shout-out to the toughest phrase/word for me to choose the meaning of, which was "troubled" LOL. It's used in so many different contexts, I struggled with it for a bit before deciding it felt the most correct for now.
How the Homicipher Language Works
The otherworldly language is the primary language spoken by the monsters of the ghost world — and translating it is the heart of Homicipher. Each word is written as a single symbol, and the English equivalents in this Homicipher dictionary come from the full community translation compiled by Kia.
Words can be guessed from context or taught by the characters you meet: Mr. Hood acts as the protagonist's first teacher in the language, and other monsters will offer words and phrases as you progress. The game itself notes that the meanings are quite broad — a single word can shift depending on the situation, so treat this Homicipher dictionary as a guide to intent rather than a strict one-to-one dictionary.
