I wanna try cracking the Flynn Flagg with this key and a bunch of known ciphers.
The following python module will encode/decode, here as an example is the Vigenère cipher.
>>> from pycipher import Vigenere
>>> Vigenere('HELLO').encipher('defend the east wall of the castle')

I believe the cipher is "SOLDIERS" since it is inBOLD.
That leaves us with what to assign each of the squares value. Using the below key, there is no "000",
So we can rule out red as being zero, since it occurs 5 squares in a row.
The first three squares (pink, brown, pink) could be (C, F, J, P, T, W).
>010,020,etc
The next three squares (red, brown, red) could be (J,P,T,W)
The next three squares (red, red, red) could be (M, Z)
What do you think anons?
