I wish I had another high-five gif for you.

But, yeah, starting with common words is best and that's probably what I would've done in any other case, but the double-symbols jumped out at me first since the possiblities are limited : double-L's in a four letter word are rare (elle? olly? wouldn't make sense, anyways), same for double-B's, T's, and other consonants; double-O's didn't work since the symbol re-appeared too often and in odd locations for an O; so I chalked it up to double-E's. Then, logically, I filled in 'feel' - within the context of fandom secrets the word fit well. And on from there... I don't want to bore you.

My method was a lot more slap-dash than yours, and I admittedly got lucky with some stuff - like guessing 'for' properly -, so it definitely would not have worked as well in any other scenario.

I would be ticked if the E's were messed with, or if it also got passed through a Caesar cipher.

Ah, I knew something felt off - a quick Googling reveals a Ceasar's cipher is not, in fact, the same thing my head thinks it is. I was thinking of a Ceasar's Square, damn them for having similar names. Of course, a Ceasar's cipher wouldn't actually change anything, since you're just replacing symbols by symbols, no matter how many times you'd do this it wouldn't change the arrangement of letters... My bad :|

That's okay. I don't think I have any high-five gifs let alone multiple ones... though I do have this warm-hearted punching icon.

And yeah, I don't know whether you've read the Artemis Fowl books, but each one has a cipher running across the bottom of its pages in the "faerie language". There's a key in the first book that makes it easily crackable, but I ignored it. Only thing is, the symbol for 'e' isn't its own symbol; it's a squiggle running underneath the symbol before it (and double 'e's get a squiggle both above and below), and I took that to mean that they were different symbols completely. I spent a couple hours cracking it (because my normal 'e'/'the' methods weren't working) and I had a little over half of the alphabet figured out when I finally passed my limit because I just wanted to know which symbol was 'e' and why there were so many squiggles.

Also, I figured that's what you meant about the Caeser cipher/square.
