Solution for the Zodiac letter dated 26, June 1970;

The first step is to determine which are letters, Greek letters numbers or symbols. You do this by using the key word "Allen," to numerically subtract from the cipher. The 8 groups of 4 cipher letters add up to 12 ( L is the 12th letter). Symbols and numbers would be "0" What you get would be; 2,8,2,0,  0,1,1,10,  5,0,6,1,   0,3,3,6,   5,3,3,1,   3,2,7,0   0,2,2,8,   0,4,1,7. Putting Greek letters in lower case you would get; C,d J,1,  "box," o,K,u   A,m,F,d   "omega," o,R,T   G,m,th,F,   D,v,T "double d," h,C,e,g,  "gunsight," rho,w,d: Allen-1=Zodiac. letters-1 and disoriented letters +1. This would give you; B,d,i,1,  "box,"o,L,u,   Z,m,E,d,   "omega,"o,P,S, F,x,P,E,  C,v,S,"double d,"h,B,e,g,   "gun sights,"rho,w,d. Next the even groups of 4 Greek letters = alphabet and the odd Greek letters in groups 1,3,5,7 =numbers; B,4,9,1,  "box,"O,L,U,   6,12,5,4,   "omega,"O,P, S,   F,22,P,5,   C,N,S, "double d,"   7,B,5,3,   "gun sights,"R,O,D. Z,F, and F were treated like Greek letters(?). The double d =4/2 and 4/2= 2 and 2.The symbol omega =Z the signature. Then a possible rearrangement of the letters would be; SFPD=0 "gun sights=12 B672352 P.O.Box 44, Burson Cal. 95225 "Z"
