# An Algorithmic Solution of Sequential Homophonic Ciphers

John C. King, Dennis R. Bahler, 1993. _Cryptologia_ 17(2): 148–165.

Presents REMOVE_HOMOPHONES, an algorithm that finds sets of homophones in an unspaced ciphertext and reduces a sequential homophonic cipher to simple substitution without relying on frequency analysis.
