Example 1
Encrypted Word: LFGNOEIL
Screens (Top to bottom): 128/0 123/1 578/1 456/1
Using Encrypt Rules
LFGNOEIL + 456 → LFG---IL, NOE + 1 → ENO + LFG---IL → LFGENOIL
LFGENOIL + 578 → LFGE-O--, NIL + 1 → LNI + LFGE-O-- → LFGELONI
LFGELONI + 123 → ---ELONI, LFG + 1 → GLF + ---ELONI → GLFELONI
GLFELONI + 128 → --FELON-, GLI + 0 → LIG + --FELON- → LIFELONG
Decrypted Word: LIFELONG
