Okay, maybe you can help me come up with a problem. I can feel it coming on, so here is where I am going:

A trick for pricing things for negotiation is to hide the price encoded. One of the ways of doing this is using a 10 letter isogram such as "upholstery" to convert 0=u, 1=p, 2=h...9=y. So then you could mark a tag or sticker with Tly for $6.49 (with the capitols for dollars and the lower case for cents) Alternatively, you could have an asking price and hide a lowest taking price TlyLuu Meaning that you could ask 6.49 but settle for 4.00. This way someone else could negotiate with the customers, from the person that set the prices.

So writing a program should be unnecessary, the reason for using the isogram is to make it easy to remember and figure it out simply.

So how hard would a program to do this be? Ideas?
