Vivi wasn't particularly fast when it came to deciphering Alex's puzzle. Not because it was really challenging, although it had its challenges, but because she wanted to take her time and do it right. And she wanted to give him plenty of time too without feeling all pressured. She had questions for him almost immediately, and Vivi tried to work around her questions before having to interrupt him.
The easy one was the single letter, the 'Z'. It was either an I or an A. She tried an A first, since personal pronouns were less likely in puzzles like these, but once she started working on the other short words, it became obvious she needed her A back. So Z = I. And U = A... and so on.
She glanced up and spotted Alex looking at her. Vivi held up her parchment. "This is what I have so far."
"The 'D' isn't repeated anywhere else in the cryptogram, so I had to guess it was a C. I suppose it could also be a B or V or something else not repeated."
