The tests in SimpleCipher expect the key to only contain lowercase letters, but the instructions for generating a random key say to use alphanumeric characters.

Hi @IsaacUtah1379,

this exercise needs to be synchronised to the common problem-specifications. Doing so will improve the description in many ways. Are you willing to amend your Pull Request to update the whole file and add even more value to it?

I'd be happy to! Is there anything special I need to do, or should I just copy the description from problem-specifications over to the instructions.md file?
