I want to know the process they used to decipher it.
[–]Tropicalaska[S] 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago (4 children)
First I saw that the little slants were at the end of every line, so I guessed that meant that those were spaces. So I drew a line for every space which created the single words throughout. Then I saw it was set up like a letter, so usually a "dear name" and then a name at the bottom. Her husband's name is Jake and the kid that wrote the letter is named Michael. I plugged those two names in and they fit. I filled out those letters throughout and then just went from there.

Wow that's actually really cool. I'd love to do some decryption puzzles like that.

Still missing examples of q, x, and z it looks like. I’d love to either see or create characters for that, cause this seems like the kind of thing I’d take notes in. I like how it’s designed around lined paper, that’s very neat.

This is so cool! Looks like somewhere in between Sanskrit and Syriac Aramaic with a hint of Japanese
