Solving Approach
This one works out to about 3.8 letters per word on average. Look for the shortest cipher groups first — they're the quickest way to get a toehold before tackling the longer words. Rated medium, this one asks for a bit more pattern recognition than a warm-up puzzle, but nothing that requires guesswork.
