Before that feature was available, it was achievable like this: Use the "Substitution + crib grid" solver, click on Show cipher and then type in the letters of the plain text. Though you will have to leave one letter uncribbed for it to work.

Sometimes a homophonic substitution cipher will encode spaces with one or more symbols.   
 
To solve it: Go to File, Load n-grams, navigate to AZdecrypt/N-grams/Spaces and select "5-grams_english+spaces_jarlve_reddit"
 
  
Before that method was available, one way was to select the Substitution + units solver with the standard settings, Unit: symbol, Mode: Remove and perhaps Multiplicity weight: 1.  [http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=5059#p82408 (Thread)]

Sometimes you have a plaintext that lacks spaces and want to automatically add spaces between words (or what might seem like words).  Steps:
 
 
 
* The spacing is based on the two letter 5-grams files inside the N-grams\Spaces directory.
 
* Under Options, Solver options there are two settings related to it:
 
** (General) Add spaces to output
 
** (General) Add spaces to output iterations
 
* It uses a small hill climber for the function so upping the iterations may improve quality slightly.

Polyphone solver improvements

Jarl has added improvements to the polyphone solver. Details here.

Compute score for a given plaintext

Select the "Non-substitution" solver.
