I have to admit I’ve NEVER even heard of a four-square cipher until reading this question, so I Googled it and found, of course, lots of references. The link below is to its Wikipedia entry, in case other folks are as ignorant as I was. 🙂 Anyhoo, based on what I read about the cipher (and my personal difficulty with cracking ANY type of code or cipher — my brain just doesn’t think that way), I’ll make a wild guess and rate it a 3 or a 4.
