Code #1
Observations
37 characters, few letters repeating but no real specific range.
[hint]A bit of dots & dashes will help you find the recipe[/hint]
Uneven number of characters with a mix letters and numbers is a good hint that morse was used. Convert the string to morse
-..- ...-- ...- .-. -..- .-. ---.. -... --.. -..- -... --.. -... ----- ..--- -.-. .--- ..-. .--. -.-. ..-. ---.. -.-- .-.. -..- .-.. --.- .--. ..--- --.. -... --.. -.-. -... -.-- -... --..
We now have 152 dots and dashes. 152 can be divided by 8 to make 19 words. Make groups of 8
-..-...- -...-.-. -..-.-.- --..-... --..-..- -...--.. -...---- -..----. -..---.. -..--.-. -...-.-- -..-.--. -..-..-. -..--.-. --...--- --..-... --..-.-. -...-.-- -...--..
The fact that each group starts with a dashes points to binary. Convert dashes to 0 and dots to 1

Code #2
Observations
64 letters, maybe it’s missing something to make it more obvious.
Most of the letters are in groups that keep repeating like ig, iv, ix. Let’s start by making pairs
ev ig ig ou ev ou iv iv iv wo ix in ev ig ev hr ev ne ev ev ix iv iv ou iv er iv hr ev ne ix ix
It now become more obvious that these should be numbers but the first letter is missing
sev eig eig fou sev fou fiv fiv fiv two six nin sev eig sev thr sev one sev sev six fiv fiv fou fiv zer fiv thr sev one six six
Convert to numerals and make pairs
78 84 74 55 52 69 78 73 71 77 65 54 50 53 71 66
Convert decimal to Ascii

Code #3
Observations
Numbers that can be paired and letters, go through your normal cipher routine to get you started.
First step is to atbash the letters and numbers
161709iifailurecdh0712
Let’s split things up to see clearly
16 17 09 i i failure c d h 07 12
Convert letters to numbers and numbers to letters using a=0
qrj88failure237hm
Invalid. We used atbash for first step so we need to find the opposite of failure which is success
