I'm sorry it took so long but the whole Canadian/US postal restrictions necessitated me having to actually TAKE it to the Post Office versus pay online and dump it in a mail slot. That took some time. No thanks necessary! You won it! It's yours! Use it to pay for a Slurpee, cherish it in your 7070, or even pay it forward in your own contest if you choose!

so this is 3 sentences and the first sentence has a little over 200 words, is this how you have them spaced out? Is it all one quote or 3 quotes from the same person? If its 3 quotes so the first part until its separated is one quote? is every group of letters representative as one word then a space and another word (with jumbled letters from the whole quote in it)? So in other words the first sentence or quote has like 53 words in it?

I think every group of four is a letter, but I am still not sure how the structure of this code works.

So in other words the first sentence or quote has like 53 words in it? Let me see how best to explain the encoding... The single quote is indeed 3 sentences long. It is all one quote (actually maybe more like an excerpt from a famous speech) from one speaker but it is regularly quoted by itself). I have the sentences separated, and punctuated, by their encoded phraseology. I do not have the words separated into their individual spacing. (I will do that later as another hint as we go along...) The code is a little tricky and doesn't necessarily follow the laws of grammar. Just because there are 52 "4 letter words" in the first sentence, does not necessarily mean there are 52 words in the first sentence. (i.e., every group of letters does not necessarily equal one word.) Clear as mud?  It will all make sense, I promise. You will shake your heads at how simple this is... (maybe...)

Hint # 7: Not all pieces/parts of a code "word" is code.
Hint # 8: Not all parts of the entire code are used to decipher the quote's encryption.
Hint # 9: Not all written text around the world reads from left to right, (or even top to bottom), either in an entire text body or sometimes even in some individual words...
