6. Cryptokey
|
|
Start by solving the cryptogram that follows, which is a straightforward code in which each letter of the alphabet has been replaced by another.

JIXRSJK SH LH GLHC LH SX NIIUH. GZGFCXRSJK XLUGH NIJKGF XRLJ CIY GBEGPX. SQ LJCXRSJK PLJ KI AFIJK, SX ASNN MI HI; LJM LNALCH LX XRG AIFHX EIHHSONG VIVGJX. VYFERC’H NLA

Now try to find a keyed phrase (5 - 2 - 10) connected with the cryptogram. Against each letter of plain text (line 1) write its encoded form (line2). Then, against each letter of code text (line 3) write its plain text form (line 4). you will find that some letters in line 4 are in alphabetical order; the letters that not are those that make up the key phrase. They appear in their correct order, although, of course, repeated letters have been omitted and must be replaced, for example ANPLEDY would be all that would appear of ‘an apple a day’.
