Using cyclic notation e.g. A goes to W, W to R and so on.
Goofed again. A to W, W to Z, Z to R and so on (G to A). I use the random.shuffle(list) function to jiggle the letters and make the permutation. def simplecode (elems): neworder = elems[:] # make copy random.shuffle(neworder) return dict( zip(elems, neworder) ) The letters are just: letters = list(string.ascii_uppercase + ' ') Better quit now, before this thread becomes a never ending erratum.
