About the cipher:
In cryptography, this is known as a keyword cipher, where a substitution alphabet is created from a keyword - or keyphrase in this case.
First, write down the alphabet on one line, followed by the keyword (omitting duplicate letters) and the remaining unused letters of the alphabet.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

To encipher a message, you convert all letters from the top row to their corresponding letter on the bottom row. These ciphers are easily cracked using frequency analysis.
