Baconian method

The Baconian method is an way of writing that was invented by Francis Bacon in the 1500s. It uses a code with special symbols that can be used to write a secret message. For example, if someone wanted to say "hello", they could use a Baconian code and they would write something like this:

| Symbol | Letter |
| --------------- | --------- |
| OOOO | H |
| OOOE | E |
| OOEL | L |
| OELO | L |
| OEOO | O |

So in this code "OOOO OOOE OOEL OELO OEOO" would mean "HELLO". Francis Bacon invented this method as a way for people to write secret messages that could only be understood by someone who had the code.
