@Angelus: The last few days it's been right around 3 pm for me. It's very weird haha

I just saw the double Q in the word in the same spot as the double L in caterpillar. It was an educated guess!

Also here's the shift key for the puzzle:
Replace each letter with the letter that comes five letters before it alphabetically. (Treat the alphabet like a cycle, so that the letter before A is Z.)
A becomes V
B becomes W
C becomes X
D becomes Y
E becomes Z
F becomes A
G becomes B, etc.


@rainbowpanda: The shift was all Jesi! I was just solving it like a regular cipher!

D - 5 = Y, T - 5 = O, Z - 5 =U, etc

You should be looking

@Theory: Wait so the letters represented other letters?

@littlewhitedragonlet: Huh, here I was dividing numbers but never thought to add or subtract...which is so much simpler... xD wow, brain. c':

@littlewhitedragonlet: Alright but how did you know to use the number 5?

Voltie — they/them Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/05/11 18:05:19 )
@Angelus: Yep! (Jesi's explanation uses numbers, but it's just to illustrate how you count them. G becomes B because G = 7, and 7 - 5 = 2, which is B.)

@Vii: Never use division in a puzzle like this, it will only cause you pain!

@Vii: we always try to make things harder than they are XD

@Angelus: because Vii and Theory guess Caterpillar, so I subtracted C from H and got 5, and then I checked it with the rest of that word to make sure before doing the others XD

@Theory: Shit it's math?! Ugh.
I think I might understand it now though.

If you can’t say something nice, Don’t say anything at all!

Well looks like I have a little time to try and get a few more items before this event is over.

@Angelus: Yep, if the word HFYJWUNQQFW is "caterpillar" then you can just look at each letter and see that it always becomes the letter five earlier in the alphabet. :)

Thanx for all the explanations, I have a better grasp on the idea but don't think I could do it just the same.

@littlewhitedragonlet: For real tho, always making things more complicated. xD

@Unicorn: Food is a good start xD

@Angelus: Using a numbered alphabet chart (like the one Theory linked) is super helpful for these kinds of puzzles!

@Theory: And you basically got Caterpillar from what the length of the jumble?

@Angelus: You understand the logic now, so you would get it with enough practice.

@Vii: I think littlewhitedragonlet linked that, actually, but yes, it's super helpful and you should all memorize it keep it handy!
