I'm new at this, so this may be laughably easy for some of you. And yes, it is in valid haiku meter.

EDIT: corrected a small spelling error

The original version of the puzzle that I gave to Krystyn and Angelo had the rot 13 end up in German as a third step. Krystyn really hated me for it Very Happy

 		Yeah, I figured out -how- to solve it all without actually solving it (I am so clever!), and when I got stuck, he was like, "Oh, and it's in German, too."

WHAT A JERK! Wink Heh heh.

 		gkrohne, assuming you're working with the same style of cryptogram as others, I dunno how that's easy Smile ... I'd assume it would be easy to guess the 29 letter word (how many are there?), but I dunno... nothing seems to be popping out to me... the 3rd word is something to work with, and the 1st word of row 3 being similar to the 3rd and 5th of row 3, but I just can't seem to get any decent possibilities... *sigh*
of course, if you made a multi-layer crypto, then, well, I'm way off anyway Smile

Okay, I don't want to give too much away, here. It's only a single layer encryption. Once you figure out what system was used to make the substitions, the answer will become immediately obvious. Another hint: no word is used twice, not even in variations of the same word.

 		hmm... ok, well, while I work on this one, here's a nice multi-step one that should get people thinkin... Smile and take some time...
and it'll probably be my last haiku before christmas... next few days are crazy busy Smile

Code:

AOPHOPA YHMPJHCGFJNCCGNXKRJBULFCRROZ
DNHLHLO FNRZCHGEQZLTCPRJVVJNBCLULEHV
BOPGOPI FTEIJHRVVLHRIRJQUCRNPENCITQI
PLPONPP FCNNXYGZNEQRFLQZRJCCTCNXJHC!


edit: neatified it a bit Smile maybe a little harder too hehe

I only know of one word that is 29 letters long. It is considered the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary. That word (floc­ci­nau­ci­ni­hil­i­pil­i­fi­ca­tion, which is the estimation of something as valueless) does not fit. So, um, I am stumped. Dunno

which is why I'm thinking either it's a pronoun, or some tricksie combination of words, or acronym, or anagram or something... but even trying some difference solve techniques with online dictionaries, I can't find a word combinations that use the letter patterns here. I'm thinking it's a crypto where the key is based not on a straight substitution, but a calculation based on a value that changes per character (like an alphabet shift +1 for each character, for example)

unless gkrohne's using uncommon words, it can't be a straight substitution cipher...

True, except Ariock had the idea that he could be using letters for spaces (and the spaces represent a letter), which was a good idea. If that is the case, I think he'd be using a different code for each line, because I don't see how it could work using that idea otherwise.

I am baking and doing other holiday-related tasks, so I am only working on this in a rather half-hearted manner. But I am curious.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a straight substitution, but it's not necessarily a 1 to 1 character substitution. Some substitutions are more than 1 character.

At least I hope so

Looking at this latest form, it should remind of you of something --something you should have learned in school, had you been paying attention.
I'm sure you'll get it.
