Hill climbing assumes the encryption process was standard, but as @hohohocch said, compare your output to what you’d expect the output to be. If this doesn’t make a lot of sense, then I’d suggest you take a step back and think about how the cipher encodes message in general, and what might be different about the encoding of this particular output. Can you find a pattern in the digraphs which might help explain why you’re only getting a partial solution?

And.. breathe
