Why does frequency analysis effectively break simple substitution ciphers?
Because it relies on guessing the key based on common words in the message
Because the frequency of letters in the ciphertext reflects the frequency of letters in the original language
Because it decrypts messages by trying every possible key combination

Why does frequency analysis effectively break simple substitution ciphers?
Because it uses complex mathematical algorithms to guess the key
Because it relies on guessing the message content without analyzing letter patterns
Because letters in natural languages appear with predictable frequencies that can be matched to ciphertext symbols
