Well, my brain is totally fried for today. I'm switching to some brain numbing television and I'll look at it again tomorrow.
Good puzzle Moe. Maybe too good (for me).

Quote: Good puzzle Moe. Maybe too good Thank you. It always makes me happy when no one guesses the puzzle right away. (Not to be a weasel but I don't want a puzzle so easy you get it right away..) I can guarantee it's not too good for anyone to solve. Especially you, Scooby, JBuck & Nod who have shown amazing intuitive powers in the past... (It is a bit outside the box but something anyone could encode a message and then decode an incoming message relatively easily. I think anyway.)

Am I allowed to ask if you are still using the old 5x5 grid like you have in the past, or is it 6x6 now with the numbers?

Quote: old 5x5 grid Nope, sorry Scooby.  This code is completely different than that other type, and the two have NOTHING in common (except they both disguise messages). That's not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure.  (I have simplified this dramatically from what I originally designed. I'll show that prototype at the end of this contest.)

With the new clues, I'm "back on track".... Should have stayed with my original gut instinct!

So far, my efforts have determined that the code was not written in Farsi, Swahili or Mandarin Chinese. Next up, Finnish.

I'd be happy if I could Finnish. Then I could get some sleep.
