Homophonic Encryption — Part 2 Level 2

by Nils Kopal, Bernhard Esslinger, published on 2019-05-08

Homophonic encryption is a modified version of the monoalphabetic substitution: One plaintext symbol can be substituted by more than one ciphertext symbol. In part 2 of this series we consider a distribution of the homophones based on English language statistics. This is a ciphertext-only challenge. Try to crack the ciphertext and extract a specific word from the plaintext.
