I would go further and say it’s not really even a puzzle. It’s an interesting construction but in no way is this a meaningful puzzle. There’s so much knowledge that isn’t captured or really discoverable via the puzzle itself. “Oh, it’s encoded English. Oh, the first letters are just excluded because it’s convenient.” This is basically not solvable unless you’ve been given a bunch of constraints that aren’t actually part of the puzzle.
