Hey everyone, I was IM’ed this rather strange decoding thing/stuff. There are three words merged into the following series of letters: **a g f p b d j j r b n g f c g c k i a c h h d a e a** Does anybody know what the three individual words are? I’ve been staring at it for the past 2 seconds (ha!) and I can’t seem to figure it out. Here is a file that lists the potential words that could be one out of the three words we are seeking: **[http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=203255](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=203255)** Cheers!

The PD is extraneous - meant to throw us off; I just found that out a few seconds ago…still doesn’t help me much. ---

thats pretty rough heres something that might help a little… vowels seperated out and the rest in alphabetical order: \*\* a a a a e i b b c c c d d f f g g g h h j j k n p r \*\* ---

I would’ve assumed the letters would be in the order they appear in the words, but it seems impossible that way since there aren’t enough vowels near the start, so maybe not. ---

A list of potential words ThePope sent me using a program called Anagram Genius. It may help 🙂 ---

Kirupa, the bogus p and d were already removed, Sens list was right. ---

no, but the list in the first post has already been edited from the original one he posted to remove a ‘pd’ and that’s what sen’s rearranged. ---

Sorry - I edited my post; I was mistaken 🙂 Sen’s post was accurate. On another note, here is another page that may help somebody out: [http://www.ssynth.co.uk/~gay/anagram.html](http://www.ssynth.co.uk/~gay/anagram.html) I was unable to get a workable solution - I am going to get a pen and paper and try to do this by hand (probably the way it was intended to be done) 🙂 Cheers!

I was provided with the solution and the method of obtaining it - I’ll post it sometime tomorrow. I don’t want to discourage any of you from staying up all night trying to figure this out 😛 ---

wait, is it an actual anagram or is there some system? ---

There is a system. The methods that we used previously would probably not work. ---

Well, the solution is “guess this code”. The solution can be found by converting all the letters to their numerical equivalents. For example, A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. In the end, you have 26 numbers, or 13 sets of numbers. Take each set of numbers and add them together. You will now have 13 numbers. Subtract 1 from each number, and you will have another group of 13 numbers. Convert the numbers back to their graphical, letter equivalents. You will get guessthiscode which breaks down into: “guess this code”. Thanks to Raja for IM’ing me this puzzle and the solution, and thanks to the encoder of this puzzle - Anand. As is the case with most online acquaintances, their last names elude me 🙂 Cheers! Kirupa :tb: ---

Yeah - all the great lengths I and a few friends went to find various C++ anagram decoders, Word Macros, etc. to solve this problem was in vain lol. ---

wow, cryptography. that’s pretty dense, and there i was descrambling the letters and such. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/3-jumbled-words-stumped/21746.md?page=2)
