Jun 6, 2016 at 15:46 comment added Matt Taylor @GordonAllocman there is most definitely a much simpler cipher. I'll start adding hints at some point if no-one has found the method of the substitution. The mapping given is correct, but that's only half the answer; the point is the method of encryption.
Jun 6, 2016 at 14:57 comment added Gordon Allocman @MattTaylor by computer I found a vignere cipher key to be mocgncgzfcnltcbbpbpswbcbozcozcncznsfcfcnlpgcn so I hope there is something else going on here otherwise this would just be a pain to do by hand. Also he gave a mapping that fits a simple substitution cipher, so why is that not already correct? He could have theoretically gotten that by hand looking at frequencies and making guesses until he got it right
Jun 6, 2016 at 13:34 comment added Fabich Of course ! I'm working on it ;)
Jun 6, 2016 at 13:27 comment added Matt Taylor Well, I've now added the no-computers tag, and it won't get the accepted answer until you know how the substitution is derived.
