I wrote a little C++ program to go through all the different combinations.

however, it tells me that there are 2,816,732 combinations for the first line, 15,020 combinations for the second line, and the third line enumerable.

I'm tempted to remove the #'s, QZXJ, to give me less gibberish.
However, if QZX or J is in one of the words, then I'll get mostly english, with a little gibberish.

oh, and if THE is anywhere in the code, it's got to be on the third line.

Elijah reaches into his S4E tool box and pulls out this...

Morse Code

Enjoy!

Unfortunately, the problem is that it's not apparent where the letters break. If we knew that it would be a snap to translate. Confused

Sap, I'm very impressed. I looked at the break-less code and thought "this is going to be impossible". Manually, there is just no way to break it assuming you have a life. I mean to even print out the possible combinations in line one is rediculous. Is there any way to have your program cross reference the results with a letter frequency chart or a dictionary of common english words?
