This time, a very, very, very difficult puzzle, try it and don't lose hope!

Today, we will attempt to crack an exceptionally challenging puzzle. I will send you an encrypted message (the content, of course, relates to The Wheel of Time), and you will need to decrypt it. Here are the necessary tools and instructions:

First, visit the following website: https://www.ciphermachinesandcryptology.com/en/enigmasim.htm. There, download the Enigma software (don’t worry, it’s completely safe — I’ve had the Enigma simulation installed on my computers for years!): Download EnigmaSim v7.0.6 (Zip 3.1 MB).

Start by opening the Enigma (press “Open Cover”), then select the appropriate Enigma model:
To choose the correct Enigma model, click on the letter of the reflector (the leftmost rotor) and select “KRIEGSMARINE M4-UKW-B”.

Next, insert the rotors in the correct order:

1. Reflector Beta (displays red letters)

2. Rotor I (second position from the left)

3. Rotor IV

4. Rotor VII

Close the Enigma (flip the leftmost lever).

The next step is to set the correct ring settings by pressing the gears next to the viewing windows multiple times:

1. Ring → A

2. Ring → I (I mean the ltter "i")

3. Ring → D

4. Ring → G

So the setting is: A-I-D-G

Now, at the bottom of the Enigma frame, click on the plugboard to open it and insert the following plugs:

• Plug 1 → 9

• Plug 4 → 7

Close the Enigma, then enter my code letter by letter and read the decoded letters on the lampboard. This will reveal the correct text.

Clear? It’s not easy — and it’s not meant to be!

The code will follow in my next post.

So here we are at least, I hope you got your settings all right, take your time and type the code letter by letter, watch the illuminated light bulbs and and jot down the letters to a piece of paper. If you made a mistake, you have to reset the ringsettings to their initial position and start all over again. Alternatively you can click on the little square of the enigma in the right upper corner, go to "Auto Typing",  copy and paste the code, ->start... go to the little square again, click on "clipboard" and read the decoded textmessage.

Tutto è chiaro? Good luck! MMUX BOFK NPYS BSWM UQFB TECD UMRS FMHC YFPW KGPK CPJW LPBD NKME BDFB PSUT OWVO DIXK YJDO ZBQU KVJJ ZCNZ VRLX VIGG TQCI AQKL WHHU HOBD ABGO KNXA BOHA BUOL ETTI GEWG KYYD DIBO HROT WI

So nobody tried his luck? I'm a little bit disappointed, it isn't as difficult as you might think. Need any further help from me? Be free to contact me my friends!
