Hi djclements,
(I have not used the LAMBDA function in my formula)
I applied the first formula to cell AF10.
=LET(
data, B3:Q18,
phrase, T5:BS7,
CONCAT(XLOOKUP(BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(BYCOL(phrase, ARRAYTOTEXT), 2), ARRAYTOTEXT),
HSTACK(BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(BYCOL(CHOOSEROWS(data, {2,3,4}), ARRAYTOTEXT), 2), ARRAYTOTEXT),
BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(BYCOL(CHOOSEROWS(data, {6,7,8}), ARRAYTOTEXT), 2), ARRAYTOTEXT),
BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(BYCOL(CHOOSEROWS(data, {10,11,12}), ARRAYTOTEXT), 2), ARRAYTOTEXT),
BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(BYCOL(CHOOSEROWS(data, {14,15,16}), ARRAYTOTEXT), 2), ARRAYTOTEXT)),
HSTACK(
TOROW(CHOOSEROWS(data, 1), 1),
TOROW(CHOOSEROWS(data, 5), 1),
TOROW(CHOOSEROWS(data, 9), 1),
TOROW(CHOOSEROWS(data, 13), 1)
))))The second formula is the same as the first formula, but instead of T5:BS7, T19:BS21 should be inserted in the formula.
Try it and let me know.

Nice job! It works perfectly for Part 1, converting Braille blocks into words.
The reverse procedure for Part 2 may be slightly more difficult. Best of luck, if you dare! ;)
