@EmilyB3 if you take out the spaces, then put new line after every 598 characters, you will get 6 rows. Then transpose, so that the rows become columns (and vice verca) now read the rows in the usual way, noting that all of the underscores are at the end of the text – they can be discarded when you decrypt this unscrambled text as a vigen&egrve;re cipher.
