This is a quite easy cipher. Finding the length of all words in lzxftzwclctgwkpc-gnggh-fvnbazlslocpul-vthprcipykxex-euzbpttnzywv tlw-wulttuqt-jxzkweczmruyo-zyhclelxjtszs-xnzfzslimysoyjybpiiwirswb-hyjycxifkvowyaratsbwmi-x-knszxxughsorbzdxvvuu tovbfxfhdqnrurar-pmpnsynryhcsssxgkezuca-bxs-fdehevnnqruaamkyortms-uexzhillsonkqohcff-kxbew we get numerals within 1~26, applying A1Z26 and then rot13 gives crazy puzzling cipher.

  • $\begingroup$ Are you willing to share your solution, post a hint, or change the question such that my approach will not work (or is this impossible?) @smlee Thank you $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry, here is my solution: rot13(Gnxr gur yratguf bs gur "jbeqf" naq pbaireg gubfr ahzoref gb yrggref. Pbaireg gur yrggref gb ahzoref naq fhogenpg 5 (ybbc bire 26). Pbaireg onpx gb yrggref. Nccyl ebg13. Pbaireg gur yrggref gb ahzoref naq nqq 5 (ybbc bire 26).) (hopefully hint 2 makes more sense now!) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ NOTE: I haven't actually heard of A1Z26 before... I will research it. Do you think maybe I should remove hint 2 for clarity?? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @smlee Won't it still work if you only do the rot13? A1Z26 is simply "change numbers into letters", 1->A and Z->26 $\endgroup$
