"So, after I've encrypted the first 36 letters, I start working down the side of the grid, moving left on the rows to find the plaintext letter, moving to the bottom to find its replacement, and then counting to the left by the value of the keyword letter?" Almost you travel to the right by the value of the key word letter "Also, suppose I'm on the 12th letter, and I'm encrypting the letter 'I'. That puts me at the letter 'H' on the right-size orange column. If my keyword letter is 'M', I need to count forward by 13 places. Do I continue around to the bottom orange row, counting clockwise?" No, when you reach to top of the mixed alphabet go to the bottom and keep counting up. |
