The Forgotten Cipher Wheel

0 solves

An old cryptographer left behind a peculiar device: a cipher wheel with 26 positions and a strange rule. The wheel has two rings - an outer ring with the standard alphabet A-Z, and an inner ring with the same alphabet but rotated. The rule inscribed on the device reads: 'Turn the wheel until position matches the count of its place, then read the inner truth.' You find a worn piece of paper with the encrypted message: 'KTBBX MEHHT LXVKW'. The cryptographer's journal mentions: 'Each letter remembers where it stood in line.' Can you decode the message and find the flag?
