Okay, challenge accepted. As characters such as spaces and general punctuation are allowed, I can encode letters using binary and you can decipher them. Codex: E is 1, . is zero. A space signifies one number has terminated, and another has begun. A hyphen will denote the ending of a word.
I wanted to be smart and just use Bash pipes to get the result (basically: sed | xattr -n1 command_that_turns_binary_into_decimal | command_that_turns_decimal_into_char ) but I couldn’t get the xattr part to work :(
This would’ve been perfect for piping dammit! I had to do it by hand just now so I wasted in total like 30 minutes on this.

I rate my experience a 1/10
Well, I appreciate the effort anyway. I did it by hand too, here’s my alphabet (lovingly named Elphabet) where I pasted letters one at a time lol:
Elphabet
- A: ....E - B: ...E. - C: ...EE - D: ..E.. - E: ..E.E - F: ..EE. - G: ..EEE - H: .E... - I: .E..E - J: .E.E. - K: .E.EE - L: .EE.. - M: .EE.E - N: .EEE. - O: .EEEE - P: E.... - Q: E...E - R: E..E. - S: E..EE - T: E.E.. - U: E.E.E - V: E.EE. - W: E.EEE - X: EE... - Y: EE..E - Z: EE.E.
