Methods of Correction
The easiest squares to correct were the simple Acrostics and the &8erfect& $ouble Acrostics- both of which contain repeated patterns throughout the square( !t was more difficult to 0udge the regular $ouble Acrostics) though ! have made m+ best attempts to correct them where necessar+( There were ver+ few cases where ! had to choose between one letter or another) or even fill in a missing letter( !n such cases ! would either go with intuition (usuall+ based on the overall pattern in the square)) and9or anal+:e the square linguisticall+ to discover an acceptable spelling( (The latter was often used to confirm or correct the former()
