i rearranged the letters alphabetically

FGNQBOZUMZBXPHTBCVDGFKQEGKCQUTWJDASDMFNDNGZGDXY

rearranged:

ABBBCCDDDDDEFFFGGGGGHJKKMMNNNOPQQQSTTUUVWXXYZZZ

edit: There is no "Frank" or "Cassie" inside

seems hard to build words with these... there are just this -> AEOUU <- vocals

i think there is some additional encryption

There's no L or R in that list, either.

But is it Frank or Cassie talking?
Cassie can't/doesn't communicate through the blog right?

Neither is there an I.

Starting from

FGNQBOZUMZBXPHTBCVDGFKQEGKCQUTWJDASDMFNDNGZGDXY

on Frank’s blog, I wrote a code to make a permutation of all the letters (A=A+i with i=1 to 26, (rot13: i=13)). It doesn’t give anything at first look.

This is what I got:

Any other idea?
Maybe we need to rearrange the letters...?

Ok, so two thoughts I had looking at this:

1. Letter shift, as mentioned before. All I remember from solving these in the past is that E is the most oft-used letter in the alphabet so you could start by subbing "E" for the letter appearing most often in this mess (G, it looks like). And then sub G for existing Es?

2. Could these be the first letters of some sort of text? Either a blog entry, video titles, song lyrics?

Don't know that any of that is any help but it's all I've got right now.

If he said he doesn't make puzzles, perhaps it's just a trick on us since we try to decode every little minute detail?

It is worth taking a look at it anyway...or just wait as usual.

yeah youve got it

Lets make an ARG and spread random Letters that dont make any sense... Thats how this game is DONE

Just always keep in mind, we never know on his blog what is posted by Frank, and what is really being posted by Cassie in control of Frank... that could be her puzzle.

48 characters, which in alphabetical order give:

ABBBCCDDDDDEFFFGGGGGHJKKMMNNNOPQQQSTTUUVWXXYZZZ

so we have 23 letters (I, L and R are missing), with the frequencies:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 3 2 5 1 3 5 1 0 1 2 0 2 3 1 1 3 0 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 3

So?

We miss a key here to decrypt this thing. I guess that could be in "It might as well hurt"

Hey, it's an equally plausible idea to share...no need to be snarky.
