This twitter message shows somebody typing BYE into an Enigma Machine and it encodes into HUG I got curious as to what settings could produce that encoding and started trying wheel starting positions that would encode BYE and HUG into unique letters, then using the plugboard to substitute those letters. The following setup encodes BYE into HUG: Reflector:B Wheels:1 2 3 Ring:A A A Grund:A A C Plug:H/L U/V G/R It turns out longer words can be encoded as well: To turn LIVE into PALM Reflector:B Wheels:1 2 3 Ring:A A A Grund:A A A Plug:P/C A/O L/Q M/W

I guess it's all about setting and with a lot of trial and error you can probably get just about any combination you want as long as it's not encrypting to same letter, but of course you may have to do more than just plugboard, longer words will be harder to find than shorter and I don't think you can get every combination you want even if you tried every possible combination. The only combination I know is not that interesting but it is one I memorized and use when I demonstrate meinEnigma. Base setting of model: M3 reflector: UKWB Rotors: 3 2 1 ringstellung: A A A Plugboard: empty Grund:AAA Then QQQ becomes UIO which is last tree on the top row, reset Grund back to AAA and hit UIO of course becomes QQQ and with that you shown the decryption part also.
Of course I had to find my own match and after playing around a little I found Plugboard:NK DI QS EO Grund:AAC LOVE<->KISS
