Vulnerabilities of Complete Columnar Transposition

When used by itself, the frequency count of a complete columnar transposition ciphertext will resemble English.

How to crack a Complete Columnar Transposition

The key length will be at least two. Write the CT into two columns, rearrange them, and if the plaintext is not apparent, try three columns, and so on. This cipher can be solved with brute force computing methods.
