The string of letters is:

eeeeeeeeeepaeaeeeaeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeccccisaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejiiiiiiiiiiiiiijjeeeeeeeejcceejaaeeeeeejiiiijiijiiiiiiiijeeejeeeeeeejeeeeeeeej

This is from an Android game Hidden secrets. This is all the puzzle tells you and you're supposed to find an answer, which is a simple english word or phrase. I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

    $\begingroup$ Maybe a screenshot would help? There can be a lot of information to be found in the context. From how the letters are spaced / separated to lines, its colors, background decorations, even the font itself might give a hint on what kind of puzzle it is. $\endgroup$

I got a hint from the Hidden Secrets Discord group and Reddit

The hint is

1. The question is a cypher of Brainf*ck code
2. e=+ and i=-

Filling in the rest of the puzzle you get

++++++++++[>+>+++>+++++++>++++++++++<<<<-]>>>>+++++++++++++++.--------------..++++++++.<<++.>>++++++.----.--.--------.+++.+++++++.++++++++.

and this leads us to the final result

Executing the program will print to console seem somehow
