I've always found the ADFGVX cipher to be one of the most intimidating pen and paper ciphers around. Which is why I used a variation of it in my impractical cipher.

Fractionated ciphers just seem impossible to me. Especially if you go to the next step and recombine the transposed fractionated message back into single letters.

I recognize that they are NOT impossible, but I can't figure out how to even get a theoretical toe hold on them. It's well beyond me. In the above referenced thread rot13 mentioned trying to attack it by tracing column and row coincidences. BUT, I'm certain I couldn't make that work. Not yet anyway.

And I note, NO ONE really made attempt on my challenge, even the known plain text one. :)

ADFGVX is quite a cipher.
