My first Columnar transposition
Introduction
This is a columnar transposition: the characters are unchanged, but whole vertical slices have been rearranged. Ignore the displayed groups of five. Make a structural guess by testing a plausible column count in Grid; that choice determines how the Ciphertext divides into column chunks. Reorder whole chunks and read across the rows. Judge an arrangement by many neighboring pairs and repeated fragments, not one accidental word, using Pair frequencies when two columns look promising. When rows produce consistent language, connect the compatible Grid Result to Columnar transposition, choose Decrypt, and Run. Keep revising the column order until the complete Result reads correctly, then submit the exact recovered sequence.
