Write the encrypted word underneath the keyword on screen 1 so that it fits in the columns of the keyword in reading order.
For each column, move each letter in the Nth column forward in the alphabet equal to the alphabetic position of the Nth letter of the keyword (A1Z26).
Read each letter in alphabetical order according to the keyword. In the case of duplicate letters, read them from left to right, top to bottom for the current duplicate letter.
The resulting letters should form a decrypted word.

Write X dashes underneath the keyword on screen 1 so that it fits in the columns of the keyword in reading order. X is equal to the length of the encrypted word.

In the case of duplicate letters, place them from left to right, top to bottom for the current duplicate letter, until each of the dashes underneath the duplicate letters have been replaced.
For each column, move each letter in the Nth column backward in the alphabet equal to the alphabetic position of the Nth letter of the keyword (A1Z26).

If you are subtracting, find the encrypted word’s letter within the row. The column that the letter is in becomes your decrypted letter.
