Easiest cipher ever to decode.

I first solved this when I was nine or ten.

Note that one third of the English alphabet, 8 letters (AEKMNRSU), including three of the five vowels (AEU), are in that one short inscription. It would not take much more to fully decipher more complex text. Think "Wheel of Fortune".

A B C D E F   G H I J K L

M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W

Pieter Geerkens 71937
