So suggestions welcome.
To keep it simple 4 alternatives would be enough I guess or 3, since the first one is already covered in the first option of the previous poll:
- Basic substitution cipher without any homophones, nulls, codes (one to many and many to one)
- Substitution with some or all of the improvements listed above
- Segmentation (as in Stolfi's or other word models, with or without nulls) and code: for example qo-ke-dy encodes 3 plaintext letters
- Any other type of encryption (too many possibilities to list them all) including gibberish with steganography, Cardan grille variants, etc.
