    That's the decoded answer I got...

    Edit:
    I used notepad, the letters make up the columns, then they are used as 2 digit co-ordinates for a polybius square. In that square, it is alphabetical.

    Alphabetical left right or top bottom?

    *ADFGX
    Aabcde
    Dfghik
    Flmnop
    Gqrstu
    Xvwxyz


    First the columns are re-ordered by the transposition key then decoded with this square using XY co-ordinates. For instance, AD is letter b.

    Edit:
    Once re-ordered, the result is to be read from left-to-right.

    Edit 2:
    Here is how I re-ordered it;

    Ok Ok but why are the spaces on the bottom?

    The spaces are to separate the columns. Sorry I'm not very good at explaining myself!

    At least I know what I mean. Well.. sometimes.

    Well in my post above (in edit 2), the column C is the second "word" in the encrypted text.
