In the wake of the extraordinary actions of folks you have now met during your quest, we leave you with a final edict.
This cryptogram can be solved using numerical analysis, clues for which are provided in the tabs. It might support the solution to create a letter frequency distribution, like so:
single | duet | triplet | quad | quintet | sextet | septet | octet | nonuplet | dectet |
“S” shows up half as much as the most common “E”
“H” is the biggest prime in the frequency count.
The 5 singles don’t count with the others.
“R” shows up 4 times more than “Y” or “G”,
but only 2 times more than “B” or “N”
“N” is only in the middle or the penultimate place in it’s word.
“B” shows up 2 times more than “G” or “W”
“T” shows up only twice as much as “A”
but “C” shows up 3 times less that “I”
“Y” follows “B”
“G” and “W” are always at the same and opposite end of their words.
“O” shows up as often as “A”, “C’ and “M”, but “A” is always alone in it’s word.
While “C” and “M” stand at the end, only the pair of “C”s are balanced.
Three “O”s fill out the roster, leaving 5 that didn’t play – “P” leads the holdouts, and “D” tails its word, while “F” is almost in the middle of almost the longest word. “U” are “L”eft right.
