There are two versions of this cipher, one of which is transposition based rather than substitution. This version produces an alphabetic rather than numeric ciphertext.

i found a transposition that uses numericals ???

[jack]

Yeah I saw the one you are refering to also kuang. I just PMed you again. I tried every variation I could think of without results.

[jack]

If we are close I can't think what we are doing wrong. I've tried every combinations of N******* G********* and K*** M**** I could think of without results. I even tested them with the 0-4 square, used transposition, changed which letter is doubled up all without results.

[Jase]

looks like we are all (3) sitting at the same brick wall

[jack]

Between the three of us we have been working on this almost nonstop.

[Jase]

and its not like we havent had enough clues either ... are we just braindead ... nah probably just me

[Jase]

well im out for the night guys ... hope you both have some luck whilst i am sleeping

[lab rat]

i have been reading the stories about k*** m**** for a while. I don't know if it has anything to do with anything, but satyrs are deeply involved. I tried every variation I could think of, but nothing worked...
still searching my way in the dark...

[Cryptos]

You are getting too specific, just use K*** and M**** as the square and keyword respectively.

[jack]

I definately have been doing the cipher wrong then. I've tried that a couple different ways.

[lab rat]

so have I.
Jack, I PMed you, just to be sure I am using the correct cipher.

[jack]

Thats what I have been using. I get C Z O for the first three letters then I get a zero which is impossible to translate.

[lab rat]

yap. same here.
