Triple Encryption

Description

A message was encrypted through three successive steps in this exact order:


Step 1 — Atbash cipher: Replace each letter with its mirror (A↔Z, B↔Y, …, M↔N). Non-letters unchanged.


Step 2 — Caesar shift +7: Shift each letter 7 positions forward (A→H, …, S→Z, T→A, U→B, V→C, W→D, X→E, Y→F, Z→G). Non-letters unchanged.


Step 3 — Reverse: Reverse the entire string character by character.


To decrypt: apply the three steps in reverse order (un-reverse, then Caesar −7, then Atbash).


Ciphertext:

CPCZKIPCLCCPGONTCAG


Your task: Decrypt and return the plaintext (uppercase, no spaces).


Answer format: Uppercase letters, no spaces.

Input Data

Encryption order:
1. Atbash: A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, D↔W, E↔V, F↔U, G↔T, H↔S, I↔R, J↔Q, K↔P, L↔O, M↔N (and vice versa)
2. Caesar +7: A→H, B→I, ..., Z→G
3. Reverse the entire string

Decryption order (reverse the steps):
1. Reverse the ciphertext
2. Caesar −7
3. Atbash

Ciphertext: CPCZKIPCLCCPGONTCAG
