Journal 29 Hints & Tips

That’s what we did.

Don't rearrange

We didn’t rearrange it

My underlined word is "fault", if I transform this one I get another word with the same letters you got.

Whether or not to rearrange depends on if you’re talking about the source or target.

Use the letters in the same order as the underlined word rather than the order the letters appear above.

Spoiler!

We got trace

I got the same answer, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone please explain how I've misunderstood this one? What am I doing incorrectly here?

If I do what these hints suggest, The underlined letters in CLOUD are L & U (from "fault"), and the letters directly beneath those are T & R. Then on the second set, the underlined letters in CRAFT are A, F, & T. The letters directly below those are A, C, & E. That gives me "TRACE" as the answer, but it's not being accepted.

Okay, I just figured it out.

This puzzle is a bit tricky and requires an intuitive leap or two. Below are some graded hints leading to the solution, which is a less common five letter word. It assumes you know keys 123-126. If you don't know them, then don't continue. And the solution is below. Do not click if you do not want to know the solution.

The first page in these books I genuinely don’t get. Had to use the solutions and hints, but it still makes no sense to me whatsoever

Somebody please help me understand how the logic to solving this puzzle can be established from the pairs of letters??

You have the some of the same letters in both pairs that relate to the process in question.

Just seems like a total and complete reach to me. Sometimes when you take a hint you feel annoyed with yourself for not seeing something but with this one I don't see how someone could genuinely logically piece this together unless they'd seen a very similar puzzle before

Just too obtuse
