Been stuck on a cypher / puzzle for a while. Can anyone offer any
insight in to this? Here it is as give:

Is it easy?

Note: xrejdsn is soposed to appear on the first line, but I can't
format the message to do it. Total lines is 4

The only clues I was given is that I was to draw X's over written text.
 And that some how EASY and 6 | x | is part of the solution.

Thanks in advance.
