Jonzjob Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 OK, I am making a cryptex at the moment and want to find out just what are the 12 most used letters in normal, common, everyday letters used in U.K. English? The cryptex has 6 rotors so for the 12 letters I will be using six for the opening combination. I had considered 24 letters, but I'm not going to pyrograph just short of 360 letters on to the rotors!!So, any ideas folks? I know that some of you out there can read [:D]Cryptex? If you don't know what it is then google it. Quite fascinating and I do love a chalinge [geek] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ta all. I have just chosen 12 letters at random that contain the 6 I want. So, not worried now about the 12 most common, they didn't seem to contain what I wanted.Such is life [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
