Thanks!
A fun thing you can do with it also is to add nonsense to the ends of lines
A Bacon cipher also does this (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
You just don't complete a valid 3 letter string, oiin ody y
On word length / information loss, it doesn't matter as the person deciphering would just count up to 3 valid letters and look up the number ref. A solid line with no spaces is as meaningful as anything else. There's quite a few nice points about a Bacon-like cipher idea that correlate with what we see in the text imo. Also a lot of problems..
On a side note, the Friedman's were big fans of the Bacon cipher (and also put some considerable effort into the VMS text) on their headstone they have a Bacon cipher that wasn't noticed for quite some time. It shows how you can adapt these sorts of ideas. It was added by Elizabeth who passed after William.
Different fonts are used in the pattern 21211 11212 11212 r(incomplete string at the end)
In the Bacon cipher this is "WFF" - William F Friedman.
