    Can’t get the keyword. I was sure it was a certain type of cipher/steganography but it didn’t work, I kept getting combinations that weren’t even letters…

    Such a good one. Was so shocked when I discovered the keyword as it happened by complete accident. For those of you still trying at it, I encourage you not to give up – the way to solve it is extremely clever but I am proof that you can stumble across it by accident!

    The first tips will be published tomorrow, at the earliest. In the meantime, keep cracking on. It’s not too difficult this week, you just need to know what you’re looking for. Good luck!

    To be precise, you CAN solve 5B with no help from 5A. But… you need to be able to change your frame of perspective. It may seem weird, but it’s not that bad.

    OFFICIAL HINT: Firstly, make sure you have solved part a, and figured out the hidden message there. Although, some have said that they have managed to solve part b without this, it is going to be a lot easier with it. Secondly, know that to solve this cipher you need to remain calm. More hints will follow.
