Our method will involve analyzing a string and picking the 5 most common letters in that string. We will then compute how far each of these is from the letter ‘e’. We will then produce 5 possible decryptions of the string by: Decryption 1 will be from comparing how far the most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 2 will be from comparing how far the second most popular letter is from the letter “e”  Decryption 3 will be from comparing how far the third most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 4 will be from comparing how far the fourth most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 5 will be from comparing how far the fifth most popular letter is from the letter “e”
