APRIL What does it bring to mind — new life, blooming flowers and hope for the future? Felix is sending you ciphers about hope this month.
This week’s cipher is a transposition cipher instead of a substitution cipher like we had last week. In a transposition cipher all the letters are there, they are just rearranged. In a substitution cipher, a symbol, number or other letter is substituted for each letter.
In this transposition cipher, the letters are arranged downward in the columns. Take the letters and write them in a row:
| T | S | N | P | T | L | T | E |
| H | N | I | R | H | D | S | O |
| E | E | G | O | A | D | U | R |
| R | V | H | B | T | E | N | H |
| E | E | T | L | C | F | R | O |
| W | R | O | E | O | E | I | P |
| A | A | R | M | U | A | S | E |

Then try to make the letters into words that make sense.
This week’s proverb is:
There was never a night or problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. Bernard Williams
