  • Ensure that
  • If multiple grids satisfy the above conditions, choose the one with the minimum area, i.e. .

The encoded message is obtained by displaying the characters in a column, inserting a space, and then displaying the next column and inserting a space, and so on. For example, the encoded message for the above rectangle is:

imtgdvs fearwer mayoogo anouuio ntnnlvt wttddes aohghn sseoau

You will be given a message to encode and print.
