Solving Approach
This one works out to about 5.2 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. At medium difficulty, expect to lean on letter frequency and word patterns rather than a single obvious giveaway.
