German, WWI is fine, and should help in identifying those names :)

Fleissner Grilles Berta: 6x6
Unfortunately I have no time now to read about it... so that's all for now

Re: Cryptomania
 

Correct :nod: (want to have a bonus point Attachment 80690 for it :)?)

Re: Cryptomania
 

So since its a 6x6, the table should look like this if rotating:

1 2 3 7 4 1
4 5 6 8 5 2
7 8 9 9 6 3
3 6 9 6 8 7
2 5 8 6 5 4
1 4 7 3 2 1

Writing the message in order by quadrants makes:

E T R E O F
A Y L O H R
N N T U Q L
T E E E I T
N S T E O N
O M O S U W

Since the names are identified, I wonder what those numbers are for: 466 322 364

4+6+6+3+2+2+3+6+4=36 Perhaps the numbers have to be applied to the grid.

Re: Cryptomania
 

Hmmm, yes and no. That's one way of representing a Fleißner grille, but it's not really relevant here, at least not for solving (that representation is of more use when creating a new one ;))


Could be, I'd have to check :lol:

The sum is irrelevant, but keep that thought :nod:

Re: Cryptomania
 

I found a online tool

But inputting the text exactly doesn't seem to help

See my edits in this post :eek:

Re: Cryptomania
 

That tool seems to be missing something though :)? Or maybe it uses a simplified grille :thinking:

Re: Cryptomania
 

Guess I'll have to shift it myself.

9x4=36 don't think it's a coincidence ;)

Is there an extra step?

Re: Cryptomania
 

I checked a few other possibilities, and they didn't sum up to 36, so I think it is ;)

Not really, except that you have to think of how to make the grille 'work'

Re: Cryptomania
 

Hmm.. Does 466322364 refer to the rotating grid? So would the first 9 letters be:

A F E W S O I S E

Or perhaps I have to rotate first a full 360

Is one of the words Queen?
