Reply To: Yet another 10B post

Can anyone give a hint, that includes you Harry, for the first key of the [Tabular Transposition]. There are +60480 combinations I know of that would give a valid chain of characters, but all I have tried have not given bigrams less than 27 when transformed into [ADFGVX] via the 3 needle telegraph. For clarity this is the [21] long key that is first use to transpose the characters into 1:1:1 [7:7:7]!

I am starting to give up…

The question is, s that the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end for you? As mentioned in another thread, there will be some fairly explicit guidance on how to break this cipher released in stages in the News over the next week (though thinking about it, I am not sure I mentioned in the other post that that is where to find the clues, whoops!) So don’t give up, just let it mull for a bit. Harry
