The key to cracking any cipher: Elephant.

From: Link on 7 Apr 2010 20:30 The key to cracking any cipher is elephant. Simply look for consistent variable repetition following the form of the word elephant. There are very few words in language that repeat letters in the pattern of the word elephant. ELEPHANT 12134567 ANARCHY ERELATER

I am just saying, trying to make a simple point about ciphers, that, by assuming knowledge of the key and acting on it, this is the best way to decrypt. The numbers of times letters repeat in three letters being two, as in the beginning three letters of elephant is a great start. The word elephant does not actually have to be there. Any of the below representations could be the word elephant. E L E P H A N T M A M O C D T O T O T I A B C D The point is you have letter 1, followed by letter 2, then letter 1 again, followed by a continues four unique letters different from the first three spaces occupied by the first two characters. Try this method to any language cipher and you may find it is effective. Have a great day. meami.org

That's brilliant. Unfortunately for you, the string "ERELATER" does NOT satisfy your condition. Hint: it has three occurrences of letter "E". > Try this method to any language cipher and you may find it is > effective. Thank you. Next time I need to decipher what my little daughter writes to her little sister - I will.
