On the Shortening of Long Words
These words are in their own dictionary. A long dictionary of words.
Find the 5 letters that make up the entire Playfair matrix used to encrypt the top display into the bottom display.
Step 1: Word Used
Take the first condition met from the top to find the word the module used:
- > 6 batteries: (45) PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS
- 2+ empty port plates: (30) PSEUDOPSEUDOHYPOPARATHYROIDISM
- 2+ vowels in S.N.: (29) FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION
- |Unlit Ind. - Lit Ind.| >= 2: (28) ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM
- 2 in S.N.: (36) HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA
- Otherwise: (34) SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS
Step 2: Finding the key section
The 5 letters from the word used correspond to the Playfair matrix used. However where it picks is always within the bounds:
Left bound: ((batteries + 1) * (battery holders + 1)) + ((ports + 1) * (port plates + 1))
Right bound: |(product of S.N. digits, 0 = 10) - (product of S.N. letters, A1Z26)|
The number of letters in each of the possible words have their counts to the left of the long words. Both bounds are inclusive and moduloed by the number of letters in the word used. If any bounds were initially outside the range, 1 is added to those values after being kept within the range. If the right bound is less than the left bound, the possible letters WRAP AROUND, starting from the left bound.
The first letter is always within the bounds, the next four are always consecutive from the first, wrapping around the word used if necessary.
