Available ciphers:

Index of coincidence, Entropy, Chi2:

N-grams:

Reps chart: N: (Increase | Decrease) ngram size: x-axis:

Largest non-repeating sequences:
Repeating transposed sequences:
Ciphertext segments with the most repeated symbols:
Repeated sequences (any direction):
All sequences that share at least the first and last symbols (any direction):
Intersections of repeating symbols:
Brute force search for sequential homophones (N=2):
Brute force search for sequential homophones (N=3):
Brute force search for sequential homophones (N=4):
Environment analysis:
Letter contacts:
Yield analysis:
Alignment analysis:
Symbol distances grid:
Find repeating ngrams with gaps:
Symmetry analysis:
Omnidirectional repetitions: Include diagonals? Exclude linear?
