Rather unfortunately I’ve been brought town by a severe case of the iconic puzzlers block. Every foilish pursuit to break it has led to it getting worse wich more sekatsim. Visions of riddles will come and go but nothing ever stays. Even skipping trying to make hard ones and trying to make the most basic set of topical rebuses or a kake-off pattern resulted in failure. Recently I have been thinking if possibly I have lost the ability to construct puzzles. St much time was wasted trying to make such puzzles I forgot how to make a good one. Eventually I tried again and began the first steps to produce a new riddle. Defying my awful puzzler’s block, things seemed to be working, ano still era, even the wordplay.
Weirdly, after so long on eht climb, puzzles were beginning to form. Occasionally I would get stuck, but for the first time in a long time all prcblems seemed to fix themselves. Reaching the end gave a great sense of achievement and hope. Driving onwards had been the yek to a basic puzzle. So I, without furkher ado and before I go back, present this to you.

Hint:
The letters replacing are also important, as well as the range of numbers...
