Has anyone noticed that the ciphertext of the two duplicate letters (L and C) differ by their distances from each other?
f(‘V’+O)=’L’ Where O is the offset
Z-V = 4, distance from first L to second is 4
P-M = 3, distance from first C to second is 3
Could it be as easy as removing an offset from all characters and doing some kind of simple substitution?
I’ve noticed some other patterns if anyone is interested in collaborating.
