Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
The claimed key was Urquhart’s own text: each number points to a word in the matching Proquiritation, yielding a royalist prayer.
Fable 5.1 reportedly solved the 64-number Cyphral Distich after connecting the two 32-number cipher lines to Urquhart’s 32 Proquiritations. The decoded message reads: “O GOD UPHOLD KING CHARLS THE SECOND AND MAKE HIM THE SUPREME RULER OF THIS LAND.” The author says the result self-checks as a two-line distich and fits Urquhart’s Royalist politics. The same post says Fable also mostly decoded Urquhart’s larger Cyphral Octastich, with caveats around nine unresolved letters and pagination shifts. HN · Frontpage AI's note
