Challenge Five

How are you getting on. The key to this one is to find the crib and to work out the length of the anagram rule. Like it says in the notes, finding the length shouldn't be too hard, since it must be a divisor of the number of letters in the message, which in this case is 139*5. Since a key length of 139 is pretty unlikely a good guess would be 5, so the text is blocked into its anagram groups. Next you should look for a crib. Aunt Aggie seems to think that the word SUEVIC is going to appear somewhere, so you should look for anagrams of parts of the word. I'll say about more about this later. Keep working on it.

By the way, your task is to decrypt the message not to translate it! Your solution should be letter for letter as the original message, with one small proviso. Don't use accents and do use a single s in place of the German double s character, just as we did in the text version of the Challenge.
