With a nice little poem it's feasible, but what if your message is essentially GPS codes,
longitudes, latitudes, distances,.... You'll end up in the wrong place.
I was looking for a generic solution, i'm very curious what that might be.
In the movie, Enigma was broken because messages always ended with the same 2 words.
Modern codemakers may have learned from that.
