The Polish bomba

bomba kryptologiczna

In September 1938 the Germans changed their procedure and the catalogue stopped working. Some message keys now repeated a letter, like W in WCZWXE. The Poles called these females, and built the bomba to search for the rotor positions that make them.

Select three females, one for each pair of places, that repeat the same letter (0 of 3).
