I’m definitely looking at some sort of hill cipher clues 3, 6, and 8 and also reversing each word but not word order. The problem is the frequency analysis says it’s either a 2×2 hill – which would be unlikely in challenge 8, and if it is I can’t seem to crack it – or there’s something else at play here (obviously more likely). I’ve explored a scytale cipher with rod size 43 but that hasn’t worked either – I just can’t seem to understand what’s going on!
