Register or Login to view.It uses the Polybius Square as a kind of gameboard, and instead of enciphering characters consistently by their coordinates, it enciphers the paths taken by a token around the board to get from one point to another. By repeating the same "moves" on a similar board, a reader can reconstruct the plaintext.

Register or Login to view.I kept Voynichese glyphs for coordinates, but changed the "pick the letter at the cartesian coordinates given by the ciphertext" rule to something that may be called antipolybius: to decipher, pick Latin letters on the board at every cell on the zigzag path defined by the ciphertext stream *except* at the vertices.
