I'm not good with ciphers. It would help if there was some context about it. Where did it come from, was it in an email or chat message, do you know who gave it to you, etc?

I'm gonna guess and say that this is a Vigenere Square cipher.

To decode the message, you would need a password/phrase that was used to encode it.

It contains numbers, so I doubt its any sort of Vigenere. Probably some tricky shifting of the letters by the number given. I'll mess with it for a bit and see if I have any luck.

Like others have said, not great with ciphers, but here's what I see when I look at it:

All three blocks of text are in the same format: three numbers, and six letters. Furthermore, there are only six unique letters in the whole thing: t, d, v, u, x, r. I think maybe the letters are a key as to what to do with the numbers, rather than the other way around.

Thanks for the input... I think there is a god chance the 3 sets of numbers could be XYZ co-ords and the the text might say which is which.

Agan I'm sorry I can't give you anymore info as I don't have any.

I'm afraid I'm not all that good at decryption either... Embarassed

Perhaps one of these sites can be of aid:
