Hey friends,
I've invented a little toy cypher machine and I'd like to know how easy or complicated it is to decipher a given text. Do you want to help me?
Here's the cypher text:
ISWHX_CVQC,V?LC,?LDNBBUHILCQ_FTC.TPTVZTK,NNTSTLWGCCTWZC,VTDCOVOLAL.WJJWIJQ_QJHDSLCDTOATJDSCTWHX_CDIWYCDI?,VWGCLCLEAOYWJJWIJQAOVE_FCLYS
It's in English language. In theory I think you could compare to an English lexicon until you find letter combinations which make sense.
Is there any more information you'd need to solve this? A hint: I'm using a set of 5 cypher weels, so it's always a group of 5 letters. And the next group will have the same encryption.
For example:
A=Z
B=M
C=,
and so on. For each of the 5 wheels the encryption stays the same. (Not like the Enigma, where the code changes all the time).
Thanks!
