可以在明文2中间部分看到“thate-ere-ains”,猜测应为“that e-e remains”,明文1中末尾处的“theear---orni
n-ia-”,猜测应为“the early morning i am”,“oneor-oreste-sahea-o-”应为“one or more steps ahead of”。联
系这几处可知,密文“e”为“l”,“x”为“y”,“f”为“m”,“j”为“p”,“n”为“d”及“y”应为“f”。
最终经过反复查找单词,利用字母的特性,发现关键词为“thank you”,起始位置为字母“a”。
明文 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
密文 t h a n k y o u b c d e f g i j l m p q r s v w x z
解密后的明文为:
to bob sent on the first of the month in the early morning
i am afraid that eve remains one or more steps ahead of us
she seems to be able to guess what weare doing before we
even know it how can we ever win in this battle of wits
but i will not give up hope we will just have to try harder
忽略掉无重复的字母: r * * i * t r * t i * *
- + # - # +

仔细观察密文第一行末尾处的“……oubeqrocrekj……”,这段密文的结构与单词“registration”的结构完全一致!
