Really cool challenge! I think my way is less elegant, in that there's a 5% chance each letter will be from the original message, but it works!

My solution for challenge #159.

 

I went down the iterative macro path, since I noticed that when the row count is low (say around 4 rows) there are not enough rows to encode the message correctly. To fix that, you should either compromise the encoding accuracy or run the workflow multiple times so you will get the right encoding.

 

Couldn't find a proper way to encode the message if you only have 2 or 3 rows, that's something that I should look into. @OllieClarke not sure if that's the step you were referring to, but look, it (partially) works 🙂

 

Workflow:

My solution.

Firstly, I encode the String of 90%.
I added the check function whether if the original strings is not maximum number.
And if there are, I overwrite lack of them.
