Hey, I was watching how the river stones line up in a rhythm, and it reminded me of a hidden message. Think there could be a puzzle in that pattern?

Sounds like a classic visual cipher. Check if the gaps between stones form a numerical sequence—maybe a simple substitution or a Caesar shift. Try mapping each gap to a letter, see if anything reads. If the pattern repeats, you could have a key. Just start with a tally sheet and see what pops out.

Sounds good, I'll line up the gaps and see if the numbers line up with any letter patterns.Okay, I'll line up the gaps, count them, and see if the numbers line up with any letter patterns.Alright, I'll line up the gaps, count them, and see if the numbers line up with any letter patterns.

Nice, keep a clean list—count each gap, note any repeats. Then test simple mappings like A=1, B=2, etc., or try a Caesar shift if the letters don’t line up. Good luck.

Sounds like a plan, I’ll keep a tidy sheet, mark each gap and its repeat count, then try the basic A‑1 mapping or a quick Caesar shift. I’ll let you know if anything pops up. Good luck to us both.
