It appears with all our vowels, both precedes and follows each, and of its common mates almost all are high frequency letters. Of nrs this sounds most like r.

We are now at that stage. Staring at the message there now many places letters jump out at us. The “tio the” in the middle of the third line says “n”, for example. So we know we are both on the right track, and very close to the end. 1 ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ ⋄ 6.3 Sukhotin’s Method for Finding Vowels In a field like cryptography, there are always new tricks and shortcuts being proposed to simplify one or another part of the enciphering, deciphering or de- 1 “Cryptography and cryptanalysis are sometimes called twin or reciprocal sciences, and in function they indeed mirror one another. What one does the other undoes. Their natures, however, differ fundamentally. Cryptography is theoretical and abstract. Cryptanalysis is empirical and concrete.” David Kahn.
