Da Vinci Code Puzzle 14

The “restoration” puzzles are becoming more complex. While I managed to solve some of the early challenges just by trial and error, more bits of debris means more possible moves and it’s becoming difficult to test all possibilites. As a result, I’m starting to see the puzzle better. Particularly, I’m beginning to notice when a potential move would leave a debris cluster isolated with no possible future moves using that cluster. I think that “restoration” may be my favorite challenge.

The question today again involves translation, but of a code not a language. Here, you’ll be helped out quite a bit if you’ve actually read The Da Vinci Code.
