Crackers
I'm rereading the Code Book now and attempting the Cipher Challenge. I know the competition is over, but that's a good thing because I can crib the answers if I get stuck.
So far, I've cracked the first two, the monoalphabetic and the Caesar shift and I'm on number 3 whixh is proving tricky. Does anybody know of a language where all the words end in the same letter? or the same small subset of letters?

Ahhhhhhh.
You're not making the dangerous assumption that there's a one to one mapping between plaintext and cipher are you?

Well, I'm no expert on codes and cipher type stuff, but I do know that Japanese has only words ending in an n, or a vowel. That's a pretty small subset in my book.
