    Don’t give up! Just take a step back and try something new. It isn’t as complicated as you might expect.

    OFFICIAL CLUE: There is no keyword. Think about how the romans may have organized the 5 letters you have (see my example above for a bit of a hint). Also, there are more common ways to make the 26 letter alphabet only 25 letters. One is to combine I & J, the other is to combine C & K. I’ll leave you to try and figure out which one is used here …

    OFFICIAL CLUE: In this case the letter j has been omitted from the alphabet (or combined with I). Arrange the headings in numbers order, yes they are Roman numerals. Hope this helps anyone still struggling.
