you can use scrabble word pattern searches to determine that there is only one english word that matches the pattern of the largest set of characters in this cypher. the rest falls into place from there.
- SonicSoul 13y agocan you elaborate ? longest word appears to be 9 letters which has a lot of matches.
- ColinWright 13y agoIt's nine letters, but there are repeats in specific places. Letters 1 and 6 are the same, 3 and 5 are the same, 4 and 9 are the same, limiting your options.
- SonicSoul 13y agoagreed but how can such a pattern be entered into a scrabble word finder?
- ColinWright 13y agoNo idea about that because I've never used one - I just rolled my own from python.
- brandan 13y agohttp://www.design215.com/toolbox/wordpattern.php http://www.design215.com/toolbox/wordpattern.php it's a pattern search, not just a character count search. check the instructions and examples, they're pretty straight-forward.
- SonicSoul 13y agowow. of course! that worked like a charm. this just made my week :)
