The first step is to notice that the exponentiatal of the cell values is always close to a rational number. The largest ratio is exp(3.178) ~= 24. This suggests the weight values represent the logarithm of ratios between numeric values corresponding to letters.

Though this results in many ambiguous pairs of letters, one will notice phrases being spelled in the grid. It turns out it is possible to fill in a pair of grids like so:

X R I S K E D U C T I
U S J E Y R P A U N O
P R A A A N D E L S L
