Hi. I recently joined the forum and discord after participating in a local treasure hunt. I am very excited to find such a large community and so many hunts. I have a few questions for all of the forum members about the Translator hunt, which I want to use to start learning more about the tools available for this hobby. 1) What Three Words - was the need to use this website located in a clue, or is it just common knowledge to try this? 2) In the Solution, it says the key undetected is Mueles confirmed to match the first time lines. Was there a clue to use the first letter of each subsequent word in each line to get Mueles, or is it just something found with experience. What does confirmed to match the first time lines mean? 3) I found Playfair Ciphers on dCode but not sure how to use Mueles in the 5x5 grid. Any help? 4) Are there any suggestions on how to gain experience in solving these puzzles? Websites with problems to solve or something similar? Thank you for any and all help. I look forward to being an active member of these hunts. Have a great day! 1 - What3words.com is something I've used in prior puzzles and others do as well. Its an interesting way to pinpoint a location. Typically you will see /// or 3 words or w3w to indicate to use it. Sometimes in harder puzzles it might not be so clear. 2 - there was not a clue on finding the progressive line acrostic. Lots of people look for acrostics in different ways, not always obvious or hinted at. 3 - Playfair decode, key MUELES. An easier tool is here www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/playfair-cipher or like others said you can learn how they work by using pencil and paper. 4 - Jenny's website and books is a good place mysteriouswritings.com/ |
