against (from)	Word-as-letter, periodic transposition, position-keyed alphabets, single nulls and sorted…	EVD0D8GDPB24104

Kind: hypothesis
Stage: tested
Tests: ["T3b-homophonic words300"]
Family: CIPHER
Origin: literature
Result: Latin, Italian and German with the 300 commonest words as units (spaces removed): held-out gap 2.5–3.5 nats; the solver assigns nearly all units to two or three letters; no words of four letters or more in the dictionary
Predictions: ["word sequence treated as a letter sequence has conditional entropy near a language\u0027s letter entropy (3.0\u20133.5 bits) once homophones are merged", "words300 homophonic search (no spaces) should find a key with dictionary coverage above random"]
