hmm. I notice that all the letters are in the order of the alphabet but with exclusions.
True, but they don't have to follow any order. Their order can be scrambled as long as it is the same letters after a given number. The number positions can't be scrambled (must be in order (1,2,3,ect) to solve correctly.
Consider this a hint.

Wow, I used to be really good at this sort of thing, but I can't make heads or tails of it :thinking:
I guess I'll just have to think about it some more. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

When being pursued by a ravenous tiger, lose no time in hesitation by contemplating any discomfort that might result from taking cover in a bed of nettles.

These are not Anagrams. They also don't fit any Cipher text schemes I know of and none of my code breakers found anything. Cipher text coding also does not normally leave coded words in alphabetical order as they are here. Are we trying to solve for a message here?
In a way, the data as given is not encoded/encrypted. You just have to figure out the framework used to make sensible results. I guess that describes many encryption systems, but the results of this code does not resolve directly to other characters.
To look at it another way, for example, a very simple encryption by shifting the letters one position would result in the characters ABC being encrypted to BCD. The letters as given in the data in my OP do not decode to other characters, however, the results will reveal a two word message! Think outside the box on this one!
