I would use Chris Burke's inverse base solution, which is antibase with
the required number of "base". However, let's also remember 1j2&#
inserts two fills between each character, answering question 2. I use
it to prepare Jumble puzzles for printing.
datatype secret
literal
> type <'secret'
noun
jumble =: 1j1 # cryptogram
cryptogram =: Alpha_j_&$: : (((mix@[ , ]) i. ]) { [ , ])&toupper
mix =: {~ # ? # NB. Ignore "no letter stands for itself"
jumble secret
A H H E U H G A A H E H W V J ?
#jumble secret
