This animation illustrates this process by depicting the grid at each iteration. In each square we draw all 26 letters on top of each other, from least likely to most likely, using darker "ink" as we get more confident. Thus complete certainty will look like a crisp black letter in a white box, while a uniform distribution will look like a fuzzy gray blob.
In addition, the current progress of the system is noted by choosing the best guess letter at each iteration and shading those that are incorrect in pink.
