The solution to this puzzle is a single word described by a cryptic phrase found by ignoring this message (after some reflection):

nofit celof rerem mosre tfaae
galss lemys ichtg onnir ongif
ybedn ruofe asarh fipcf ittpy
yrcay bddeb oircs elddl
arrow felga nicse asiin elzaz
merup sihto tinoi tulos ehcat.

(In reply to re(2): Solution (again) by Hugo)

After reading the solution, I realise that no encrypting is done, all the letters are the same in the plaintext as in the cyphertext.

It is nice to see though that the frequency technique I planned to use this morning would have worked.  The letters EAOI follow the etaoin shrdlu pattern, there aren't a lot of T's though.  Nasty bit is that Mindrod's crypto technique masks most of the bigram's and trigram's, that's why I could not find "the" or "eht".

Thanks for the problem Mindrod.
