ATOMIC HOMOPHONES

LITHomophonic ciphers (the Beale papers, the Zodiac's 340) give common letters many symbols so that every symbol is used about equally often, flattening frequency analysis. The Zodiac 340 was solved in 2020 by Oranchak, Blake and Van Eycke; the Beale papers 1 and 3 remain unsolved.

MODELHere the symbols are atomic numbers 1–118. Letters get homophones in proportion to their English frequency (E gets about 15 elements, Z gets one). The grid is the ciphertext, glitched into colour by element number. The solver is a real one: a hill-climb that reassigns one element at a time, simulated annealing over English bigram frequencies, held to English letter frequencies by a chi-square penalty (counted from Pride and Prejudice, public domain). Its plaintext emerges from noise.

Plaintext: the opening of Pride and Prejudice (1813, public domain), 1600 letters, long enough for 118 homophones to be attackable. Honest note: a run can stall in a wrong optimum (some seeds reach half the letters, some far fewer). Real attacks, like the one that broke the Zodiac 340, use many restarts and longer n-grams; press new key or keep climbing.
