Hi Steve, I'm not sure if this constitutes "light" because I haven't solved it either. The description of using a cipher wheel with a specific alphabet...
Looked at this very briefly. He lays out the cipher alphabet used, presumably in the right order, and says the keytext is in the letter. If you brute forced...
Good to hear from you again, Alexandra. I actually tried using the entire text of the letter as a running key, but didn't find an entry. On one attempt, I...
Although we don't "see" much of each other, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Keep up the energy and the good work you are ...

Looks like we're all starting to crawl out from under our rocks. Hello, Alexandra. Long time, no read. Hello to you again, Dave. I just took a serious look at...
Hi John, Stretch - Yawn - Blink -- waking up is so much fun! I put a copy of my program in the files section of this group. It's called Vig39Drags.exe. Its use...
Seems my last post got lost. I am thinking some cribs for the plaintext might be. "forty four" or "44" "seventy three" or "73" "degrees" or "degs" "point" or...
John: Yep. When you hit encrypt first, you merely encrypt the crib in the first position. Each subsequent hit of the drag button (or the <enter> key) moves the...
Dave: Thanks. I actually figured it out last evening after my post. Clever app. I've tried dragging just about every logical crib I can think of through this,...
Merry christmas all: From the tests I've run. I don't see any signs of it being a short keyword. I'm kinda thinking the keyword is the same length of the...
You may be right about the length of the keyword, but in analyzing bigrams, the most common factors are 2, 3, 5, and 7. Two and three are unlikely lengths for...
Most of the geocaches I've done where a cipher is involved, The plaintext would say something to the effect of: please go to N 44° 22.541 W 074° 11.673 in...
Well, some are real short. Yet some I've seen are pretty long. They contain other instructions beside just the GPs coordinates. So the length of the cipher...
Here's one from Arizona (The Wheel Cipher), that gets you only part way by solving the cryptogram. Then there is a nice map exercise to follow. It's one of my...
Here's another one by the same person who did Rupert's. Seem to be easier. From looking at it quick. It looks like it uses the typing test sentence "The quick...
Here's a [definitely crackable] challenge of my own. The cipher itself is work in progress and I'm open to any suggestions on how the generated alphabets can...
Maybe your frequencies aren't correct if that's all you get. And if you have a lot of digraphs present, maybe that tells you something... John Lobert...
Thanks, but I found the mistake: The way I entered the letters into the matrix was wrong; ... I had to enter them columnwise: First 881 letters into column 1 ...
Hello Lurkers. I spotted an item on BoingBoing that referenced a web site (http://wilwheaton.buzznet.com/user/?id=903397) which contains an ADFGVX cipher below...
The length of the keyword is, well ... long, very long. -Tharagleb (the same one who found Ruperts) ... are ... letter ... going to ... do ... I ... aren't ......
