The next decoding tool we are going to work with is called Letter Frequency Code. The idea is to take a secret text and apply a tool to find out which letters occur the most often. We can then compare the frequency of letters occurring in the English language to those letters that show up in our secret text. The letter E is the most common in our language therefore the letter that shows up the most in our secret text is E. The next most common letters are A, O and T. Use the two links to the right to help you crack the code below. The first one to break the code will win a prize.
