=== Method 2 === A more complicated method involves a [[Bifid cipher]] without a key (or, in other words, with a key of plain alphabet): {| class="wikitable" |- ! ! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 |- ! 1 | A || B || C || D || E |- ! 2 | F || G || H || I/J ||K |- ! 3 | L || M || N || O || P |- ! 4 | Q || R || S || T || U |- ! 5 | V || W || X || Y || Z |} The message is transformed into coordinates on the Polybius square, and the coordinates are recorded vertically: {| class="wikitable" |+ !Letter |s |o |m |e |t |e |x |t |- !Horizontal coordinate |3 |4 |2 |5 |4 |5 |3 |4 |- !Vertical coordinate |4 |3 |3 |1 |4 |1 |5 |4 |} Then the coordinates are read row by row: 34 25 45 34 43 31 41 54 Next, the coordinates are converted into letters using the same square: {| class="wikitable" |+ !Horizontal coordinate |3 |2 |4 |3 |4 |3 |4 |5 |- !Vertical coordinate |4 |5 |5 |4 |3 |1 |1 |4 |- !Letter |s |w |y |s |o |c |d |u |} Thus, after encryption, we get "swysocdu".
