Because the sample is short, does not give a unique mapping, but the following tentative assignments are compatible with English letter frequencies:

No shift yielded intelligible words, so a simple Caesar cipher is . 3.2 Atbash (reverse alphabet) Applying the Atbash substitution (A↔Z, B↔Y, …) gives: nyk tyz kbyr bldy msry allbwt almrbrb...

| Cipher word | Length | Possible English equivalents (based on pattern) | |-------------|--------|-------------------------------------------------| | nyk | 3 | (pattern: ABC) | | tyz | 3 | ? (ABC) | | kbyr | 4 | ? (ABCD) | | bldy | 4 | ? (ABCD) | | msry | 4 | ? (ABCD) | | allbwt | 6 | ? (AABCD?) – note the double “l” | | almrbrb | 7 | ? (ABCDCDC) – note the repeated “br” | Because the sample is short, does not give

Applying this partial key (b→e, r→t, y→a, l→l, k→h, n→s) yields: (ABCD) | | bldy | 4 |
