Actually this is not a necessary condition for a deterministic ciphering and deciphering. Having $&# and $& and $ at the same time is also possible.

I made my own similar cipher to see if I could solve it knowing the method and the parameters for sure (space + 26 letters, two cuts per ciphertext word):

It's harder than I thought. A simple hill climb algorithm leads to sub-optimal outcomes (ambiguities or too many letters). Simulated annealing is either extremely slow or doesn't reach the optimum.
Does anyone have an idea for a better algorithm?
EDIT 1: One possible idea for improvement is to prioritize moving cuts in words that produce the highest number of ambiguities.

Register or Login to view.I had luck decoding your cipher with a hill-climbing algorithm to try and find an X length(52 seemed to work for yours) key that produce the shortest text and most successful coverage of the text first and then moving on to decrypting.Congratulations! I'm surprised that it worked at all: all codes are between 0 and 3 characters long, a few of them being shared between different positions, standing for different plaintext letters. I could have used the zero-length codes for a frequent letter like 'e' instead of space and shared a lot more codes between different positions to make it more difficult to solve with a general-purpose cipher/code solver program.
