Re: Cryptomania
 

466322364 does have a relation with the grille, but it doesn't define (not directly anyway) the lettersequence; the coded text you work with is simply what Bruja mentioned (as her romantic ideal ;))

Re: Cryptomania
 

So... The ww1 men and names were just a hint to a 6x6 grille? No turning involved :doubt:

Those numbers seem like the key :confused3

Re: Cryptomania
 

Well, turning is involved of course, because that's how it works (and yes, the men and names hinted to what "it" was ;)). But you always need some more info to use a Fleißner grille for en/decoding.

:nodder:

Re: Cryptomania
 

I found this site (was going to use it for a crypto of mines :rotfl: )
Les grilles tournantes du colonel Fleissner *Which I found you already used and Bolaf already did Mathias Sandorf

My grille isn't working :confused3

Splitting the numbers into quadrants, there seems to be a problem

46 63 22 364 the 2 can't be used twice in one quadrant.
So it could be 46 632 2364 or 46 6 32 2364 etc.

Re: Cryptomania
 

And, anyway, it wouldn't work... You have to choose different numbers from 1 to 9 on each quadrant. If you take -for instance- 628 for quadrant 1 and then 25 for quadrant 2, one letter will be read more than once and another letter won't appear at all in the final sentence...
So we must do something different with those numbers... Still thinking....

Re: Cryptomania
 

Weird, I'm pretty sure I answered link yesterday already
(in response to his 'first' grid, which I didn't understand ;)):

But anyway, Bruja is correct, that was not the way to use the numbers. And, as link suggests in his edit, that would have been a 'multi-interpretable' key...

Re: Cryptomania
 

I saw that too bruja while researching. I tried using phonespell (making words from the phone)

You said those numbers had something to do with the men? (if I remember correctly)
So ww1?

Re: Cryptomania
 

Nope, WWI and Germans were an extra clue to get from Anna, Berta etc to Fleißner grilles, specifically a 6x6 one (which happens to be the size on that site you found :whistling). Use the numbers as the "key" for the grille (in a very simple way actually ;))

Re: Cryptomania
 

466322364 seems like I need to decode it. Not A=1, hex, ascii etc.

Re: Cryptomania
 

Nope, no decoding of the numbers is necessary :no:
