Cryptanalyze the text below. This is a ciphertext produced by mono alphabetic substitution cipher. Ideally you should find the plaintext. Even if you don't you may write down the steps you took to cryptanalyze for partial credit. You may use the following resources.

First, the page https://norvig.com/mayzner.html gives you the frequency distribution of letters, commonly used English words etc.

The second is a frequency analysis tool: https://math.dartmouth.edu/~awilson/tools/frequency_analysis.html

You may use the tool to find out the frequency of characters and make substitutions to try out if they work.

Please pay attention to the rubric. Submit the following:

1) Method you used to cryptanalyze the ciphertext

2) Plaintext recovered

3) Key recovered
