Automatic substitution solvers fail on Dorabella though they solve 87-letter English controls; ciphertext language identification ranks English first; character models place it nearer language than music; 13 mirrored symbol pairs occur where chance gives 3.6 (p about 0.001), read as structure and against a hoax.
What it's used for here
The main computational study; source of the evidence tiers on the language, music and hoax readings.
