The following ciphertext was generated using a simple substitution algorithm. Decrypt this message. As you know, the most frequently occurring letter in English is e. Therefore, the first (or perhaps third?) most common character in the message is likely to stand for e. Also, e is often seen in pairs (e.g.. meet. fleet. speed. seen. been. agree, etc.). Try to find a character in the ciphertext that decodes to e. The most common word in English is \"the.\" Use this fact to guess the characters that stand t and h. Decipher the rest of the message by deducing additional words. Warning: The resulting message is in English but may not make much sense on a first reading.
